Well I didn't plan on installing this until spring but I had a free day today and nothing better to do so I put it in. Not bad for a $160 craigs list find!

Before (crappy open diff):


After (locked, cocked, ready to rock!):

 

I want one!

 

Nice.

 

Nice how hard was it to install how long did it take

 

It was pretty easy to install. I had to fight with my drivers side brakes so that I could pull the axle shaft back. It took abotu 4 hours but I dont normally work on something start to finish. I like to take breaks.

 

Lock Right?


looks good.

 

Congrats!! Cant wait to see how it works out.

 

figured out why it isnt unlocking?

 

what exactly did you do? im ignorant

 

Dang i really want one! WTH is up with your gear lube lol, were you just driving it?

 

+ did the did the ring gear need to come off the diff? You set the backlash and such, corect?

 

dont need to to install a lunchbox in an open diff...you never unbolted the carrier from the housing...no backlash and pattern checking needed. uses the existing carrier minus the spider and side gears.

 

Sweet!
The lunch box lockers (aussie and lock-rite) are very easy to install, just takes a few hours if you haven't done it before. Like Shane said, no need to check patterns or anything. Just pull out the old guts, and put the new ones in.
Speaking of... Shane did you get the Aussie in yet?

 

looks good man!

good find!!!

 

Looking good, I want one.

 

i dont wanna talk about it. lol.

 

Looks good.....

Do you by chance have the install manual? I cant find them online...and was hoping you might have gotten your hands on it....

Let me know!

 

Looks good, I just got done from playing in gear oil myself.

 

nice man... looks like your old gear oil got water in it, mmmm looked like peanut butter lol

 

i thought about that like ten minutes later. lol, dumb question. guess i was thinking spool

 

Powertrax no-slip.

Yeah I guess I wasnt jerking the wheels hard enough to unlock it.

yes you are...

I installed a locker.

I had to run to the auto parts store and pick up gear lube and RTV. It was all foamy it was kindof cool.

Yes I have one. You can also see it here:

Fun stuff isn't it!?!

I really don't think it smells at all. The old stuff didnt smell at all and the new stuff a bit of smell but nothing bad. I almost passed out from the nasty smell of the RTV though.

Next on the list....Front Diff fluid needs to be changed.

 

I prefer LSD (so much that I have 3 of them!)

 

i wondered if that could have been the problem after i talked to you lol...

and its the LS additive that stinks btw which you dont need..

 

yes because a LS can out perform a locker in locking up the rear tires LOL RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

 

Haha..

LSD for the front, LSD for the middle, LSD for the rear. Cant get enough.
