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!

Who has these on their front end? How's the driveability on road and off?

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!Originally Posted by NJ99VX
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!

would love to get a hold of one of these! :_drool:

another ?- possibly a dumb one....
would you have to buy a bunch more stuff for this 10-bolt aussie?? (different axle, shims, spider gears)
or if one of these was ordered, could it be installed directly into our factory front axle??
basically, if i purchased one, would all i need after it arrived would be someone to install it?? therefore a locker for under 1k? (with the hubs, locker, and installation)
Super VXer
I would give Matt a call. He would be able to answer all those questions. I don't want to misinform you and I am not 100% sure.
Super VXer
So is this a permenent locker? or is it switchable by air ?

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.
Super VXer
hmmm... i may be seriously interested if that is true....
ive always been under the impression you cant do a locker for under 1.5k

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.
Super VXer
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.
Super VXer
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?
