I haven't had any trouble with mine, don't know of anyone else having trouble with theirs. Two year warranty with no tire size limit. In real world, performance, reliability and customer satisfaction are excellent. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Aren't they very similar to the lock-right and ez locker? If they are then, they're grrreat. No problems so far. If they aren't the same sorry I wasted your time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

WranglerT that is a good choice. I use the powertrax cause they don't click and I beleive the aussie does make some noise. IT IS VERY SIMILIAR TO THE LOCKRIGHT WHICH CLICKS TOO. damn caps key.

Be careful which locker you order QUOTE:"rear chrysler 8.25 on my 90 yj"
Unless I've missed one of these over the years, a 90 YJ has a D35 or D44, they never put 8.25s in YJ, now that I think about it, I've only seen 8.25s in Xjs.

Please let me know if I have this mixed up?

No, you are right. I don't think they have ever put a 44 in a YJ stock either... But 8.25's are a horribly easy swap... maybe it was swapped in?

very observent and i beleive you are right, mines the first 8.25 i've seen and that is because it came out of the wifes 93 xj. i'll have to ask my mechanic but i don't beleive he had to do anything extravagent to bolt it in. he thinks it's a great upgrade for what i use my jeep for!
