For use in my 27 spline 8.25. I'm going to go with a 29 spline Detroit locker and 29 spline alloy axle shafts, and be done with it.

Ya, I called aussie awhile back to buy a locker for my 29 spline 8.25 and they said they were having problems getting the metal from suppliers to make the lockers and had no eta on when they would be available.
I bought one used for 250$ but it was in perfect shape and i replaced the springs and pins with new. I love this locker!
Now I need one for the front, will probably go lockright due to aussie's production issues.

If you search hard enough you should be able to find some tho. I bought my front locker off craigslist and emailed Aussie for the directions. Keep looking.

perfect timing dude! You are gonna go on this trip bro. Even if I have to help your lazy *** get that shaft in ( does that sound a little too dirty to you?) hope not..

. it was actually a funny story cause the guy i bought it off of from ebay sent me the long shaft but with the small u-joint, that is why it was so cheap ($15+10 shipping) but in the description he said it was the bigger u-joint. so he sent me the 297 joint long shaft for free! so now i have a spare if i shatter the new one i just got. beats spendin 650+ bucks on some chromo shafts. btw it is kinda gay for you to think about me when touching your ***!

No snow. But I think anyone who goes up there will be fine. Only one trail where clearance will be an issue. But some can avoid it, I WILL run it tho. There wasn't any water up there, just plain mud! As long as you've got some sort of tow point, whoever goes will do JUST fine... BRING YOUR DISCOVER PASS. When I was airing up, a police office came through and gave me a "talking" for parking where I shouldn't, and then proceeded to tell me an chris that if our discover pass isn't visible, he wouldn't hesitate to give us a ticket next time...
Anyone can go on this run, the only thing I require is a tow point!

Beginning July 1, the Discover Pass is required for vehicle access or parking on Washington state parks and recreation lands. Note: Current Vehicle Use Permits will be honored on WDFW lands for the balance of the license year (through March 31, 2012).
