even when i am off the road? i thought the detroit locker worked as a kind of posi/limited slip. should i get a different locker for the front? maybe an e-locker?turning might be hard when hubs are locked
no, i havent ordered anything yet. why?do you already have the 3rds?

so you just have housings and axles? or complete axles. if they were complete i'd say weld the rear and an aussie in the front, would save quite a bit of money because store bought 3rds are an easy swap later on

yea, i would rather not weld the rear. it really doesnt seem like the thing to do with a DD. plus, i have the money for the thirds now, so why not? and i dont have a front axle yet.
i would try to get a selectable locker for thefront air or electronic which ever u turing radius is reduced when the front is locked it allows a slip in the rear but from what i am getting out of lakewashington tech is that the front with a locker with not unlock itself iguess. Cause u have to be able to have ur inside tire make less revolution then the outside of the tire.

k, so i just read the review for the aussie locker on pirate (http://www.pirate4x4.com/productreviews/aussie/). i know slidillon has one on his heep, but i didnt really get a chance to talk to him about it. does anyone else have an aussie on their front axle? if so, how do you like it?

found a guy to do the labor for $900, which includes fabbing a bumper. says he can get the SAS done in a 3 day weekend.
picking up the axle from brian tomorrow, tires are a week from saturday, then i just gotta order my parts.
for you guys who are running dual batteries, where did you mount your second battery?

found a open area that would be perfect for mounting it on the passenger side of my engine bay.
