No, but it's a lot easier if you do.

That's cuz they don't make a locker for the 8.25"

Aussie does not make a 29 spline 8.25 locker

I have asked Aussie about this and they have no plans of development... not enough support

 

[XJCasper]

I had heard that the Aussie is in the experimental stages.

Damn. I wanted one.

how is an aussie different from a no slip?

The Aussie is supposed to be a quieter Lock Rite. Both were developed by the same guy.

I've had the no slip in mine for 2 years...no probs....I have worn out the R&P...but thats a different story, not related to the no-slip...I'll replace the springs in mine when I replace the R&P.

Who has the best deal on this No Slip??

This is the best regular price I've seen. $365 in a 29-spline 8.25 with an open carrier. http://www.rocky-road.com/xjdrive.html

i'll second that for the best price, although i got mine shipped straight from powertrax and the parts were all just thrown into the box. works fine and everything was there though. powertrax fault though, as it was directly sent from them

I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in, even though the origial post is a month old

As far as the Aussie is concerned, I know there are plans to produce a 29 spline 8.25. I was listening to a conversation Bill, the owner of Aussie, had with a few friends about this about a week ago. I can't remember details though. Since it didn't apply to me, I wasn't taking notes

Also accorrding to Bill, the Aussie has much tighter tolerances and more material where possible(stronger) than a lock-right. I can't confirm nor deny this, but since I don't personally know anyone with an aussie who has been dissapointed with the quality/precision, I assume it to be true. It is supposedly this level of precision and high tolerances that help keep it quiet on the road. Also given that it'll probably be a fraction the cost of a no-slip, it may be worth giving Aussie a call to find out more info on when it may hit the markets.

I have not seen the Aussie and NO-SLIP side by side but I will tell you this. They dont make a LOCK-RIGHT for the 29 spine as said in the previous post. The NO-SLIP is way beefier then the LOCK-RITE. Your comparing apples to oranges when you compare AUSSIE to LOCK-RITE.
