I'm debating between a JCR stage 4 front bumper or an Aussie locker for my daily driver. I'm leaning towards the Aussie, but want to know how people feel about putting in in a DD. It'd be going in my Chryco 8.25 rear.

 

Well, you can only buy an Aussie Locker for your Chryco 8.25 if it is the newer 29 spline version. I have had my Aussie Lockers front and rear in my XJ since Christmas. I drive it Daily and all has been GREAT!!!!!

 

I think they kill gas milage dont they?

 

I debated over the same thing, and I needed the locker more than a HD bumper. And I have had mine in for about 1-2 months and there is no real difference in how it has handled.

 

I just ordered it. This is going to sound weird, but does it come with a sticker?

 

Mine did.

 

Yes each Aussie Locker comes with a sticker. I have two so I got one for each side.
The rear locker didn't really effect my mileage at all. The front locker knocked my mileage down about 2-3 MPG because your front running gear will all spin now whether in 2WD or 4WD. The performance gained off road more than makes up for the little extra I am paying in gas. That is up to you to decide for you, though.

 

lol no

 

Do any of you have a write up on how to install the Aussie in a 8.25? I couldn't find it on their website.

 

The instructions that come with the Aussie Locker are very clear. It really is an easy install, especially if you are one of the lucky few who don't have to remove the ring gear to get the pinion shaft out. Even if you do it's a really simple install.

 

You can kinda see the sticker in the bottom left of my back hatch window. Pretty awesome sticker I might add.

 

Thanks for the pic, Tennessee. Where did you get those tail light guards? I've been looking for a set for quite some time and can't find them anywhere.

 

No shame in asking about stickers. I love stickers, nobody seems to judge me, lol. Especially when they represent places you've been or things you've done, no shame in that at all!

 

all your front running gear spun without the locker as well.

the only way it wouldnt is if you have the vacuum disco,where your drivers side shaft and spiders still spun, and your passenger side outer and mid shaft still spun.

 

Just do a google search for Manik Taillight guards. I got mine from autoanything but whatever you do, DONT buy from them
