Cool. Did you reuse your side gear shims or leave 'em off?
Search my name and aussie locker and you'll see tons of threads with my little review in them of an auto locker on a mostly street driven manual DD. I don't like it one bit. But when I go wheel it, I fall back in love with it. Juice is worth the squeeze. If I could do it all over again, I would've tossed in a selectable locker.
hey is your truck a 5 speed or auto? keep this updated and let us know how it works(well just me really haha) on like pavement in corners, blah blah blah. im seriously looking into gettin one but nervous with the 5 speed and pavment driving in corners and such. thanks

it was 389 for the locker with free shipping. and it was my first install so id rate it about a 4 or 5 out of 10. they include some pretty good directions, just have to familiarize yourself with the names of the parts so u know what there talking about in the install book. and ok ill let u know once i get her out on the road. and all i used was basic tools. wrench's, a flathead and some misc tools. but tools that u prolly already have

like 20 mins after putting the cover on. lol. Silocone hardens up fairly fastlikeish. lol. After I get the cover on and tightened down, I waste time by tossing the drums and wheels on, torqued down, getting the truck on the ground and getting tools put away(sometimes. lol). But then again, My axles alot farther away from the gas tank so you might need yours at full droop to fill. IDK...it's been forever since i was stock.

UPDATE: just got done testing the locker and holy **** do i love it! went to a local trail by myself. im not bragging about my truck but i was so impressed with what i was just doing in 2 wheel. had to give up a couple times and put her into 4 otherwise i would have been stuck and i was alone. i went through this valley of rock and dirt, full flex and my door was rubbing the side wall of the rocks, and i scratched my paint. kinda pissed btw i had fun! sorry for no pics
