Has any one had experience with the Aussie locker? I inquired about one of these units and was told $239 on the price. That sounds awesome and you can install this sucker your self. Is this too good to be true? What is the quality like? etc......

identical to the ez-lock and lockrite, but claims to have better materials and survive a larger tire.
good choice, believe there's a tech writeup on the lunchbox installs that I did, process is identical for all 3 versions.

Thanks guys! I checked out some old threads and have a pretty good idea of whats up with the Aussie locker. Im not wanting to open up a can'o'worms on this subject. Seems to be a touchy one. Thanks for the help!
Question on the install - I just read through woody's tech article, and there is a suggestion to replace the shims behind the side gears as they may have worn. I assume you need the same thickness shims? Do you measure them at the outer edge to know what thickness replacement shim to buy?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
IMO, install the thickest shims CDan can get for you....IIRC, .170 is it. Mine were NOT replaced, and my front axle began to ratchet BAD at CM04....installed these ($10 or so each) and haven't had an issue since.
Here is my write-up on my install. I made the measurements listed in the instructions and I didn't need the shims
