Help with locker installation

I'm planning on picking up a lunchbox locker for my front diff (Dana 30) pretty soon, either a Spartan or an Aussie. I'm a pretty capable mechanic, but I've never done any differential work. I'm pretty sure I could figure it out, but just to be safe, I'm wondering if anyone with this kind of experience would be willing and able to assist me with the install once I get the parts. Thanks in advance!

Ive done most everyones front locker on here!!! Its easy im willing to lend a hand if im free. Just give me a few days notice. My dads tranny is hopefully done being rebuit soon. Ill be getting his jeep out of my garage and getting mine back from him!!

Awesome! It probably won't be until the beginning of April sometime. I'll definitely let you know when I'm ready. Thanks man!

powertrip, ryan is the man, he's done most of are lockers. he knows the short cuts. he did jono's jeep, that winch will come in handy to get it done. all you gotta do is help and bring coors light.

Cool, thanks Rick. Good to know he has lots of experience. Convenient too, I'm a Coors Light guy myself!

I'll come help if Im not busy either. Its always fun to get to gether and work on stuff!

Right on! Thanks Tim.

I check the Aussie locker site and they are still out of the front locker. Better luck on eBay or ask Rick were he got his locker from. And it was fun getting mine out but Ryan the man.

if you are buying new hit me up for a price first.

Dammit! I just ordered one last night. I paid $254.99. I shopped around, it was the cheapest I could find.

no worries, I'm pretty sure that's the best price you could have found anyway.

Yeah, I was on the fence between an Aussie and a Spartan, and it turned out I found the Aussie for cheaper, so that's what I went with.

Almost all of us run an Aussie and I think you will like it. Nobody has any issues with theirs plus I really like that their warranty has no tire size restrictions.

Cool. I'm so looking forward to getting it installed!

My upgraded tie rod will be at my front door some time tomorrow. I'm wondering if I should wait to install it until after the locker install. Meaning, will it be easier to do the locker with the tie rod removed?

Yeah might aswell do it at the same time.

we are doing this friday the 13th now!!

Should be a fun one, hahah hope you don't see no black cats.

Ok back on for saturday!!!!! One of these days we will get it done!!!!

Thursday the 19th 4pm now!!!!

Sorry for the continual changes. Damn jury duty that just won't end!!!

Jury duty is done!! Two week trial, and we convicted a very bad man of some very bad offenses. So my locker install WILL be happening Thursday the 19th, at 4 pm..

Nice!!! Guilty guilty guilty!!!! Building tims rock sliders tomorrow morning if u want to come hangout.

I would, but I'll be in N. PHX hanging out with Tracy.
