First outing after front aussie locker installation

Two Jeeps and a Land Rover on slippery terrain. The TJ has a front Aussie locker and 30" BFG A/T tires with 2" spacer lift, the XJ has open differentials, 31" BFG M/T with 3.5" lift, the Defender is stock with larger Cooper Mud tires.

are those auto lockers, meaning. The diff senses it through anertia, enertia LOL. ?The tire spinning and it engages automatically? thanks

No, in simple words, the wheels are locked all the time until you turn, then the wheel that wants to turn faster (the outside wheel) unlocks.

does the defender have a locker or anything front or back?

[vspili]

The defender has ESP or some type of traction control which brakes the spinning wheels, no lockers.

@Oldsninetyeigth Nice I have installed an aussie in my front axle. In the bush it is fantastic and when it first snows the same. When the roads are partially plowed you can feel the stress on the axle and it becomes quite unruly. I have been running around in 2x4 untill I need it. The nice thing is that my jeep is not a daily driver and it seldom snows here. I have a couple vids up of the jeep working after install if you are interested. Thanks for the reply!

@Hortgeek I have front & rear aussies, They do make noise on super sharp turns i guess it could bother someone. The only issues I've had are with super hardpack snow & ice, sometimes opens can do a little better in rare situations.

My next buy is the aussie locker. Are you happy with it? How road friendly is it and is the purported clicking on corners annoying? Thanks. Subbed you. Check out my jeep if you have a minute. Once I get a front locker I am going back to a few places that I had to struggle through lol. I am not going to do the back just the d30 for now.

@kagome4life456 alot of us do... but i personally like detroit lockers better

[mustannicolas]

is the tj a 2.5L and how does it drive with the locker in the front?

[kagome4life456]

so do most wheelers put a locker in both front and back axles?

I've been looking for one of these for my XJs D30, but they're sold out everywhere :(.
