    10 bolt lockers available again

    Matt had sold out of the first production of Aussie lockers for the 10 bolt. He has decided to get a second batch and is currently giving a discount to those that pre order. Just thought I'd throw it up here in case any one had missed out or just wanted to save a few bucks. Here is the link!

    Hmmmm, now that is an actual mod option for me...

    I have one in my front end. You need to use manual locking hubs with them, so on road the front is unnoticable because it is not hooked into anything. Off road, I have no clue. I am going to find out Saturday.

    Manual hubs are definately a must have with one!
    Off road you are going to pee yourself when you see what you will be capable of! Just remember that that extra traction can also get you in a LOT more trouble! Have fun!

    automatic, no switches to control it.

    My installed did not need to buy anything seperate. it just went in. I have the old spider gears down stairs as they are replaced by the locker.

    I'm leary of lockers on IFS though because when wheeling, they increase your chances of breaking a CV. At least that's my experience with my friends and their Toyota crawler toys. They all do a SAS for the front for strength.

    I'm curious how NJ99VX's ride goes. This is exciting... I think I just wet myself.

    I thought they were squirrelly on road when you go around corners.

    Scott, that is the locker in the rear, and yes it can be if you apply the throttle at the wrong time. If I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't do the auto locker in the rear since I drive up to 8 hours to go offroading, then again I only put 1500 miles on it last year, so I dont drive that much in the VX anymore. We will see how they pay off offroad before I make that call for sure with the hindsight.

    Not if you have manual hubs. If I get the locker, I would get the cheaper superwinch hubs, vice the Aisins. Insurance for the CVs. Anyone know if there are other CVs that fit the VX, say from a rodeo, or Trooper?
