Default Aussie lockers?

I have searched the internet for lockers and have decided on the aussie locker. I would like to hear what people have to say about them. Thank you

Decided against the No-Slip?

i have one in my 8.25, it works awesome, takes a little bit to get used to driving with it, but it was very easy to install and works great offroad. the part i had to get used to though is if you are making a sharp 90 degree corner, you have to accelerate a little slower so you dont engage the locker.

I don't personally have any experience with either, I just noticed you were asking about the No Slip as well. I have been reading up on both of these lockers as well. From what i've gathered, they are both really good lockers, with the No Slip being a nicer handling on road choice that comes at a price. If you don't mind the noise or handling Characteristics, I say save yourself some money and go with the Aussie. For me however, the locker will go in the rear axle and is a DD, so i'm going to pay the money for the No Slip.

I have had Aussie Lockers front and rear in mt XJ since I got them last Christmas. I love them! They are quiet and well mannered on road and they provide AWESOME! traction off road. At $239 apiece you can't beat the price, either. Installation was a breeze. They come with complete instructions. I would recommend Aussie Lockers to anybody with an XJ!!

Yep, unless you are really heavy on the gas on U-turns.
