Simple locker question

[jeeperjohn]

for those who had the aussie lockers installed for more then two years, how is it holding up? I'm considering getting some for my cherokee...

Aussies hold up really well but they tend to tear D30 carriers apart if you use the stock carrier. Get a stronger aftermarket carrier for your D30 and you should be good for a couple years at least.

I keep hearing people say that aussie lockers in the front make it hard to steer while in 4hi...how hard?

a lunch box locker would be your powertrax lockrite, no-slip, an aussie locker.. You are supposed to beable to install it very quickly within an hour so you could theoretically do it over your lunch hour.. hence the term lunchbox locker.

You're joking right?

The term "lunchbox locker" comes from taking the internals out of the carrier and replacing them with the locker. The carrier is the lunchbox that has been repacked with a better lunch.

My Aussie was a very easy install in my C8.25.

It does make the steering a bit sluggish in that it will tend to push (meaning the front tires will sort of slide a little bit as they turn) but I have never found it to be a problem.
