So far, so very very good!
Date: Oct 14, 2009
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Beaverdam, VA)

Installed an Aussie Locker in the front Dana 30 of my '99 TJ. I have not tested it on trails yet, but so far I am as pleased as I can be with it's quiet performance. I do not hear anything from it unless I go somewhere quiet and slowly do very tight circles... and then I only hear it if I hang my head out the window.

Engage the T-Case and it is amazing... the front end gets real "grabby"! You can feel her pulling far more than you ever could with the old open diff. I can't wait to go trail riding!! Will update hopefully soon.

Great locker for the money
Date: Oct 04, 2009
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (South Bend, IN)

I installed this locker front and rear only a week ago, and have tested it only a few times in some muddy fields. But from what I can tell so far my YJ is now unstoppable. Obstacles I used to worry about are now laughable with this upgrade. I have stock tires and stock suspension. Customer service is A++, and the price is great. Go buy some and be impressed.

Broke center pin... Then ate my pinion gear limping out!
Date: Jul 14, 2009
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Seattle, WA)

I use my '81 4x4 Toyota for work prospecting, not as a toy to destroy on the weekends. So, when my one year old Aussie locker failed on a jeep trail DEEP in the Idaho Rockies I was a little concerned there was a 18 mile hike in my near future! I was going over a little log, spinning slightly with 35" BFGs, and BANG it broke! I have 5.29 gears, 22RE 4 cyl, header, weber, msd, rancho shocks, body lift, bobbed bed, high steer. The truck is not abused, so the failure was a shock... $$$

Best Auto Locker
Date: May 23, 2009
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Florence, AZ)

I installed Aussie lockers in the front and rear of my Jeep Unlimited and love them! My jeep is used as a daily driver they do not eat up my tires. I take it offraod twice a month on up to 4.5 rated trails with large groups of people and I am the only one with Aussie Lockers and they have proven to me to out perform other top dollar brands... easy to install too. They do click though but it is an attention grabber. great custmer service and you get cool stickers also. for those who want quality at the best price out there go with Aussie Lockers.

Cheap, Easy, and It Works
Date: Oct 06, 2008
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Ohio)

This one is simple. You will break OEM u-joints and axles first.

Pros:
-Strong. I beat on it pretty good.
-Cheap.
-Easy Install (30 minutes).
-Cool clicking when you turn.

Cons:
-Reduced maneuverability when in 4wd.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Flint, MI)

Howdy folks, I put an Aussie locker in the front D30 of my Wrangler. What a difference, this sweetie goes wherever she likes. Sand - big improvement, Mud - Big improvement, Steep inclines - Huge improvement. The quality of this product is right on, no complaints. Just followed the instructions and we were in busuiness. After 14 months without issues, I have no idea what there customer service is like. A+

click, What click?
Date: Mar 14, 2008
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Augusta, KS)

Great customer service, great price, and strong reliable product. Installed in a dana 30 front axel in a 99 TJ in less then 1 hour and a half with commen tools. absolutly no change in driving no clicking, until you put it in 4wd then the traction begains. It does click a little in 4wd but that just lets you know every thing is working correctly. combined with the stock limited slip in the rear, I can out climb a mountian goat. GREAT PRODUCT.

Nice Quality
Date: Aug 21, 2007
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Southern Illinois)

I installed a Aussie in my front D30 about a year ago, my Jeep had a stock limited slip in the rear and that did a good job already. I could tell by looking at the parts that the Aussie is a quality product. The install was easy and I am no mechanic. I have put this to the test and convinced that with the proper tires I could climb the Hoover Damn.

The only downfalls are minor, and they are only because it is not a manually selectable locker. I do get some clicking when you turn however I got used to it and when people point it out it is a good excuse to tell them exactly how cool my Jeep really is. The other more important issue is that on two occasions I have hit standing water on the road that was several inches deep. I was at high speed and going strait, my front wheels wanted to stay locked so my Jeep gave me some ruff protest.

We did not get a lot of snow last year but when we do this winter I will have to be careful driving on a road with black ice patches.

It is a great locker at a great price.

Great value, climbs like a mountain goat

Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (SoCal)

I installed one in my front D30 for a few months-it works awesome. Some clicking when turning that you have to get used to but no big deal. Easy install.

Service
Date: Feb 23, 2007
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Windham, ME)

Well, not sure about the locker as it is not installed yet , but i will say that the service seems to be outstanding as far as my purches. Not sure what would happen if something was wrong like the order or warrenty issues. I called , asked for tech. help ,spoke to bill ,and made the purchase. The locker was at my door the next morning by 10:00am with the help from FEDEX. So far a very pleasant experience.

Great locker for my 2000 TJ
Date: Sep 09, 2006
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Monroe, WA)

I had an Aussie locker installed in the front D30 of my Jeep TJ. It is barely noticable during daily driving and has performed very well on the trails. Combined with the D44 LSD in the rear, I can climb just about anything I want. It is a well engineered part and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a locker.

One solid dependable product
Date: Mar 30, 2006
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kelowna, British Columbia)

I have been wheelin' this locker for almost 2 years now. It is in the rear d44 of my YJ. The install I did myself never having seen the inside of a differential prior. It was a breeze, done in a day.
I run 35" tires, and have a done up 401 under the hood. I wheel weekly in the mountains, winter or summer and on the hwy every other day. This thing is dependable, quiet and rugged. Not a single concern since install. The extra traction of course is fantastic. No handling issues on the hwy at all, just take your time and get used to having a locked rear end . If there is any downside, and this is minor, its the ratchet sound on corners, slight but still there.
