Budget Lunch Box
 
On a bit of a budget with my 99 xj with a 8.25 rear and a dana 30 up front. I'm looking for a budget lunch box locker for both the front and rear. I have the higher spline count rear axels with open diffs front and rear. I've used the Lock Right on my F150 with the 8.8 rear but I can't afford a powertrax rear for the Chrysler 8.25. Anyone recommend something that will help keep me in budget?

Considering a Powertrax is only $20 more than a regular lunchbox locker, Ausie, Lockrite, Spartan. I guess you'll have to search for a used set.

I've found the Aussie new for $299. The cheapest I can find a new Powertrax is $420 or so. Richmond gear doesn't make the Lock Right for the 29 spline axle, at least they don't say they do on their website, but they make the Powertrax.

The spartan is working well for me.....

Aussie Locker is the best deal around. Period!!

I just installed an Aussie in my '99. I didn't think Spartan made one for a 8.25/29.

I would say buying used would be the cheapest, May take some time to locate them but you will save some money

Yep. Got my no slip, like new, for $200 and the price of new springs. Just wait for good deals

Ya, I just got a used no-slip last night with some new parts ad spring kit for $250 for d30.
