Lockers - because i trust you guys

O.K. so the aussie locker for a D30 is backordered through Northridge4x4 and direct from Aussie. Any other suggestions on vendors? i can't seem to find anyone else who carries them.

HELP!!

If you order them now, will they be here by the TSF run? We can put them in at browns camp too. :D

yeah, thats kinda what i'm thinkin. if i can't find one somewhere in the next day or so, i'll wait out the 2 week BO and cram it in last minute. not to sure i wanna do it on the trail though.

Hey, I'm going to order mine soon too. If I don't have the shop do it when they do my gears, we should install them at the same time. Cause I don't know if I trust myself.

Hey Mojo, where did you end up ordering yours from? and how long did they say tell you get it?
 
havn't yet. i called Aussie today they said no guarante on anything. i have to call northridge tomorrow and dbl check, but i think they were 2 weeks.
 
Given the choice, I would take what's available now so I could go wheeling. I've put a 100k miles on a Lock-Right and an EZLocker, both purchased used, and never had a problem. And they were both around long before the Australian copy. My $0.02.

Thank you! As cool as the Aussie may be, there's nothing wrong with a Lock-Rite. I wheeled the piss out of mine and it never gave me any problems. As John said, just my $.02.

Here's my take on this, take it for what it's worth.

Yes, I've heard the Aussie's work *slightly* better than a lockright or EZLocker as far as noise, disengagement, etc. My problem is availability and parts availability. I've never seen a lockright fail, other than breaking the pins. The pins are the weak point in all of the designs. Regardless of what Aussie's policy is, they're going to cry "ABUSE" when/if you brake a set of pins. Now my questions is... whether they're warrantying it or not, would you rather wait 2-4 weeks or ??? to get replacement pins for your AUssie, or go to any 4wd shop, Randy's, etc. that STOCKS the lockright pins for $15?
