You got it! Heres their site http://www.aussielocker.com/index.php/lockers.html
Most lunchbox lockers (not full carrier) are similar in design and installation. Pop the diff cover, pull the center pin/ cross shaft, pull the spider gears, push axle shafts in one at a time to remove c-clip and axle gears, then your ready to install the aussie. Any questions let me know.

I am going to do my clockspring this week.
My right blinker does not work unless I fully click it up.
If I do the "lane passing" push, it does not blink.
The left one does both, the temporary blink, and the "clicked on" blink.

Someone said it was a bad turn signal cam contact.
1) Do I replace the entire turn signal part? (multifunction switch)
2) Is it an easy replacement while I am doing the clockspring?

Again, What is it called when you push the turn signal only partially so it doesn't lock into engaged mode? Like when you're doing a quick lane change. This doesn't work for me. When I push up (turn right) it does not start flashing. I can only get the blinker to turn right by fully "clicking" and locking it on. Anyone know what causes this? I can do the partial blink for left turns, just not right turns,

That's why I bought it. To learn stuff. I don't really need to drive it. I have another car for that.
It only snows twice a year, so I guess I can drive it during that.

Keep in mind while doing this that different motors have different sensors and configurations. Besides that, many of these sensors are just a matter of unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one. Don't waste too much money.

I know people who use 3 inch spacers, they are still alive so you should be ok there. They just look super tall in the pic, you will need to at least relocate your track bar, just google it. And you will need to relocate your brake lines and get an alignment. Your stock shocks probably won't be long enough, so wait until you get new ones to start working on it.

Oh an you may need a t case drop and or shims. You won't know until you lift it.
