Default Where can I find an Aussie locker?

I've been checking Aussie's website for about a month now, and they still don't have the locker for Chrysler 8.25's in stock. I've even emailed them 3 times with no reply.

Has anyone been able to purchase a 8.25 locker from them lately?

According to jeeperzcreeperz.com it is expected to be back in stock Jan 24th. So I would say around then.

There's a thread over on Pirate4x4, but I gave up after MONTHS and just ordered a PowerTraxx unit from a place called My4by.com I told them my situation and that i'd pay a little more the Powertraxx unit if they could get close to price matching the shipped Aussie price.

The Aussie was gonna run me 292 shipped(Ford 8.8). They sold me the Powertraxx for 305 shipped.

After wheeling with an Aussie and now with the Powertraxx.....I can't tell a difference. Same noise level, same engagement same awesome traction.

Well, powertraxx only makes lock rights for the 27 spline. I've got a 29. I guess I'll just have to wait for the Aussie.

Did you install a no slip? Or the lock right?

I can find the powertraxx no slip, but no lock right.

Yeah, The no slip is a good unit. Just more than I wanna spend. Seems like locker support of the 29 spline is kind of sparse.

As jmm stated the 8.25 aussies are in production and will be available the end of Jan 2011 apparently they under estimated the popularity of the 8.25 and ran out. lance, they switched to G-mail and lost alot of e-mails at first. Try them now.
