Here is one of the better write ups I have found for a Aussie/Lokka locker in the front D30. (which imo is the better place for an auto on a DD rig or really any rig with just one locker and 33s or less)

 

What write up

 

Thanks for your offer! I would be more than willing to make the drive next Saturday if there is a convenient time for you.

 

What ya workin on?


Its not bad just watch for the yellow fire truck sign and keep left of the metal gate with the dogs on it.

 

Hah **** you don't see that link I forgot to post. http://www.4x4xplor.com/aussielocker.html

 

They are all supposed to be simple with the Spartan being the easiest. Desert rat threw it in for me when they were doing my gears. The cost to get the gears done was over 800.00 and I supplied everything that was just the labor. 4WD parts wanted 1,500.00 for the labor. I got my locker from a site called Broncoboneyard.com.

 

Next Sunday anytime is fine what time you want to come up? I pm'd my number.

 

I will definately need help with that one. If I did should I re gear even though I only have 31s

 

That's the easy part. Regearing is where it gets complicated and expensive. I wouldn't for 31's. I probably won't for 33's at least not for a good while.

 

Okay, I do think I need a transfercase drop kit, it vibrates a bit, and a new tranny Mount

 

I bet someone could fab you up a tc drop.

 

What would I need, like the simplist design

 

Not much to a tc drop. http://tal4x4.com/zone-offroad-produ...rokee-xj/j5006

Probably easier to just buy one 33 buck

 

Is it as simple as it seems, unbolt, lower the tc, put In spacers, rebolt

 

Almost there are two studs and two bolts. Bolts bla bla come out easy but the studs take a bit more work sometimes. You can use the two nut method or vise grips work for some. Hit them with PB and it really should not be that hard.
