i am looking at installing a locker in my rear D44. I just installed an Aussie in my D30 and have been very happy with the performance so far, but I am a little concerned with installing another lunchbox locker in my rear axle. My jeep is frequently driven on pavement/roads/highways and I am not sure if I should wait and get a selectable such as an ARB or Eaton (but I don't want to wait forever to build up the funds as I am a poor college kid ). My preference would be another Aussie, but I don't want to chance breaking anything while driving through town or while taking sharp corners. Any recommendations?

I went with Aussies front and rear and couldn't be happier with them. So I say throw an Aussie back there.

I would do the Aussie. When/if you decide to go to a selectable, you can get some good money for the Aussie as long as it isnt too worn out.

Sounds good, I appreciate the info and opinions. I guess I will keep an open mind and learn how to handle it when cruising around town and on other paved roads.

Don't hesitate about the lunchbox in the rear. Ran 'em for years, a lot of pavement miles, and no problems.

Just PM'ed John from Auburn Car Repair and Offroad and he's gonna have one (an Aussie) for me in a few days. I decided to wait on the rack and increase my drivability first. I'm not working much now that I'm back in school, but I plan on slapping a roof rack on before NWFest though. Thanks for your suggestions and opinions!

Sorry about the double reply, my computer was being retarded. I can assure you it was not operator error.

I think you'll be very happy with the Aussie.
