Supposedly, they have been saying that for a few years. Im still waiting for a 29 spline one from them. If you have a 27 spline one, get a lock right.

No shit?I wonder why they're stringing people along?Screw it I'll get a power trax no slip,I've always liked them anyway but the aussie could've been cheaper and just as good.TRAILREADYXJ said:

powertrax must be paying them not to. That's the only explanation that I can come up with. They've been saying it's right around the corner for years.
I quit waiting and tossed teh 8.25 for a 44.

I've thought about it too. Around here, there is a junkyard that sells about any axle for $200. I could almost swap the axle and lock it with an aussie for the cost of the no-slip! I'm probably eventually going to do an 8.8 so I get disks with the deal too.

I got my XJ 44 for 125. Aussie was 230ish. Add paint, diff guard, new brake lines, new outer bearings, etc and I was right about at the cost of an 8.25 no-slip...and I had eliminated the leaky pinion seal!
Ofcourse, in the process I had to throw some disc brakes on it, which added probably 150-200 to the whole cost. Definitley well worth it though IMO. Would have been about the same to add discs to the 8.25.
But everyone's different, and finds themselves in a different situation. I found a diamond in the rough 44 under an XJ in the junk yard. I jumped on it! NOt everyone is that lucky. lots of people make the 8.25 work for them.
