Aussie Locker coming for the 8.25

Did someone get thier feelings hurt and delete the Aussie test thread?
 
:dunno: as much doggin' of Aussie that has gone on in THIS thread, I'd figure this would be the one to get deleted....

Maybe we should try harder razdrvr? :D
 
I think a little more prudence on the part of the manufacturer is in order. Hard to typo something like, "We got in the first batch and we're test-fitting to make sure they work. We ran into a slight fit issue on the test vehicle, so we're making sure it's not just a fluke. Thanks for your patience." ;)
 
Did anyone actually plan on having an Aussie locked 8.25 in the foreseeable future?
I may start taking pre-release orders.... :roflmao:
That way you can be the first one on the block to get yours :roflmao:
 
No, and now b/c of this, I'm even debating if I want to get one for my D30! I'll probably just go with something else....

Yeah. Long story short, they posted that they were having fitment issues on the 8.25 on a 99 TJ.

I'm with ya...I feel the same way.I'll be going with powertrax for my 8.25 and they won't be getting my money for a d-30 locker either.
I'm over it....

LOL I've heard only good things about Aussie lockers for the D30, and people have been wanting them for the 8.25 for how long? Now that they actually make one and are having slight fitment issues, people are running for the hills?
 
But they said they're having fitment issues with an 8.25 on a 99 TJ. The TJ never came with an 8.25.

So they're either BSing or they don't know what they're talking about.

What you don't know is that they emailed me just a little while later basically saying "Oh shit I had TJ's on the mind and wrote the wrong jeep, can you please edit it for me!?!" - but I was nowhere near a computer so another mod deleted the thread for them.

You can't tell me you have never meant one thing and typed or said another - especially towards the end of a long day.
 
Thanks for clearing that up Cal. But you gotta admit that it seemed a little fishy. First they talk about a TJ with an 8.25. Then when someone calls them on it, the whole thread disappears. :)

And when are YOU ever NOT near a computer?? :laugh3:

I was at Mike-G's fixing his brakes. Last JV event, I went to move his jeep and hit Santa head on they were so bad.

I was able to read and reply to PM's from my cell phone, but its somewhat limited and won't operate the drop down menu for thread management. ;)
 
Why wouldn't they just use the edit button, instead of sending a PM about a typo?

You can only edit your posts for about 25 minutes. They didnt notice it until coming back to the thread later, and it was too late - at which point they PM'd me, I was unable to do anything, so they PM'd another mod who deleted the thread instead of editing it.
 
so can one just use the 27 spline housing, throw in a 29 spline aussie and 29 spline shafts and call it good with a 29 spline 8.25 or is there more to do? Sorry my dd xj had a d35 and I got a deal on a d44 so now I have a desert rig with an 8.25 im in the dark...

You need the 29 spline carrier, or to machine the shit out of your 27 spline carrier. The spiders/locker won't fit the recess in the 27 spline carrier, and IIRC the shafts wont fit either.
