aussie locker install

[jeeptj333]

can anyone help me install a d35 aussie lunchbox locker in my jeep possibly this saturday (jan 16th) as i know nothing about gears or lockers besides how they work

[The_Ronster]

looks like I am going to be out of town as of right now, nothing to complicated though

[boostlesstj]

i can, you don't need to set any tolerances as your just taking it apart and putting it back together. i cant be there too late though

[The_Ronster]

You might want to start collecting spare axle shafts too :2thumbs:

Someone around here used to have some spares, you might want to post out in the wanted section.

[jeeptj333]

matt just pm me when you could be available and i will be starting at the skills shop when they open

[boostlesstj]

Just let me know whenyou head up there and I'll ride with you

Agreed!!!

[jeeptj333]

they open up at 9am so i will be leaving about 30 min early. i will be doing my fluid changes the diff. (front and rear) oil, and transfer case. you don't have to help but i wouldnt be able to give you a ride back home till i was done shouldn't take me long though

[akhillbille]

These are easy. Me and Darick had it down to about 5 min at one point. I might swing by but I have a lot to do since I didn't get anything done today.

I might try to swing by to gain knowledge. I've never done anything like that before and would like to see how it's done. I have an FRG thing at 1000 so I won't be able to stay long. Seeing as how I want to put a locker in my 35, it would be good training.

[rpiereck]

I think I'll swing by if I wake up in time.

[boostlesstj]

that's what alarms are for...

[rpiereck]

Me and alarms only work on work days. On off days I tend to ignore them....

[boostlesstj]

yeah i'm the same way

[jeeptj333]

how long would it take to install the front locker? (aussie)

[jeeptj333]

well heading down to the shop thank you everyone that is helping me out and everyone else for the advice

[rpiereck]

I'm up and on the way out in a few minutes.

[Disco69]

Make sure you guys post up who made it, so I can update the Wrenching Sessions Thread and the recruit roster.

[boostlesstj]

it was myself, Ren, Corey and Mel stopped by for a small BS session

Did you install two lockers and axle shafts or just a front locker?

[akhillbille]

only one locker the D30.

I found two carriers I thought were D35 but I was looking at them in the dark. One I'm sure is a D44 and the other I think is a D30. I didn't have them labeled for some reason. I'll look again in the daylight tomorrow. I know I had one just don't know where it is right now or if I still do.

I'll probably be interested in that D44 carrier.

[akhillbille]

ok. I need to measure it to be sure. I also have to make sure it's not one of my buddy's. It's also most likely for 3.73 and higher gears so if you are going to 4.10 or lower it wont work unless you use thick gears. I'll let you know.

[The_Ronster]

someone here has thick 4.88s that would fit it just great :D

[akhillbille]

anyone know how to identify a D35 carrier? I found a couple carriers but not sure if they are D35 or D30. They were labeled at one point but all that is left of the tag I put on them is the string. If I can figure out that one is a d35 that will help out corey.

[The_Ronster]

Spicer carrier number for the D35 is #44590. It should be stamped on the carrier somewhere. The D44 number is #32684

[jeeptj333]

thanks everyone for the help

[Disco69]

How did it work for you? I heard you and Ren took it out and gave it a test run.

[rpiereck]

The locker was fine and got him some extra traction, but he punctured a tire going over a tree branch. Changing tires at -20 with a factory bottle jack sucks! I am definitely getting a Hi-Lift!

[jeeptj333]

works great just need the tires to back it up

[akhillbille]

Thanks ron. I'll check the ones I have and let you know if they are D35 or not.
