e-locker ish.. decision time

If you do go with the aussie in the rear....You will almost never know its there when on road. The auto works awesome together with it. I have 3 of them in my Cruisers...

I can echo this statement million times . I some times forget that my rear axles are locked, even on trails. But after I experience the result, I realize that I have a rear locker.

Although I would not recommend an aussie/auto locker for the front axle. But if you have a part-time 4WD then I don't see why you can't have an aussie up front. That was my original plan but I fell in love with the ARB. I have seen broken axles with aussie and know how painful it can be extracting the broken piece from the aussie equipped 3rd member. I have also seen broken birfield with aussie but I am not certain if it's the aussie locker, driver or the obstacle that caused the damage. Sorry if I am digressing. So in that case, I agree with Christo, leave the front locker and get the ARB (Or an aussie) for the rear. I hear of many cable conversions these days. I have 2 years of hands on experience with "OX" locker and I gotta tell ya, I don't like cables. But this might be better then OX.

Have you checked your flange bolts on the rear axles yet? For some reason the Lockrite/Ausie Locker etc makes those bolts come loose.

Yes sir, I check those bolts periodically. Mostly after each wheeling trip .

I'd put an automatic locker in the rear, personally. They work so nicely with AWD, including snow, and you don't have to mess with them.

If you are like me you probably keep the rear more or less locked on the trail - the only issue for selectability is street use and quite frankly given your setup an automatic locker would be the least of it.
