Trustworthy mechanic for locker install
I am interested in having a simple locker put in my D30 of my XJ. Due to my work schedule I don't have the time myself. I was wondering if there is a person or shop that folks recommend in the South End? I am not doing anything difficult....something like a lunchbox (Aussie maybe). Thanks for any input!!!

The hardest part about installing an Aussie in an XJ D30 is tearing the hubs apart and pulling the shafts. I've got that down to 30 minutes or less.....on the trail side....lol. Yeah, you can say I've had some practice.

Same here. I have cut way back on side jobs due to a baby on the way but wouldn't mind helping a forum member and xj owner. Don't see too many around here. Never installed an Aussie but I'm sure they are pretty cake. Let me know when you want to get it done.

Don't need to, pull the brakes then pull the whole hub and shaft out as one. Pop the carrier out, remove ring gear and spiders, install locker, RE assemble

Im not stuck on the Aussie locker. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear them. This is an XJ with a rubicon x 3.5 on 31's and manual trans. I built it to hunt back country year around. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks everyone.

X2 super easy! I had never been inside my dif before I installed my spartan other than to change fluid. Just took my time and laid it all out nice and neat. I used the instructions and YouTube, went together just fine!
