Just in case anyone is as curious as I was about if and when Aussie would be coming out with the V6 locker any time soon I thought I'd share the reply I got from them today. I must say- I e-mailed them sometime last night/this morning and got a reply within a few hours. The response is still not the most promising; but moreso than previous statements I've seen.

Thank you for your follow-up. All of our new product production was delt a setback due to a malfunction of a major piece of equipment that has taken us months to sort out and find parts for. That is in the final stages, and a new mother board is on the way to Australia on Monday so we are hoping that our production issues are behind us. The V6 Toyota Aussie Locker has been released and ordered by the USA and we will see if in the normal manufacturing flow in a couple of months. We apologize for the equipment failures, as this has put us many months behind on the release of three new models that should have been in our stock by now

I have been wanting one of those for so long! I can't wait!

I don't know anything about Aussie locker's products, but I know my V-6 Lockrite works great.

The main difference between the 4 cylinder and V-6 Lockrites is the lack of parts in the V-6 version. The Lockrite version uses the factory spider gears and actually works quite well. No breakage is over 5 years of use for me, with a rig that is almost never under 5000lbs. I suspect, from my experience and hearing of the 4 cylinder lunchbox lockers that this design, with the less aftermarket parts and utilizing the factory pinion and side gears is a stronger set up.

I'd be interested to see how Aussie builds the V-6 version. But unless it's MUCH cheaper than the V-6 Lockrite, if it were up to me, I'd go with the proven product instead of being the guinie pig.

Not, that the lockrite is expensive for 250 I can't complain.

i paid $190 for my detroit V6 EZ-locker about 6 months ago.

ive got the v6 lockright in the rear and no problems so far.

i wonder what kind of malfuntions they are talking about. i know my a couple of my other friends(little jeep diffs lol) w/ lockrights had problems w/ their center pins coming out, i wonder if their having the same problem.

It sounds like it was a malfunction in their manufacturing equipment, not the locker.
