Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Any one know where in usa i can buy a detroit locker (links to web sites please)To fit a 1982 fj45 Part#225sl124a i have seen them on one site for $657usd but they wont ship to aus and the rouge aus distrs want $1000+gst
Might aswell buy a air locker if i can't get one for the right price

Which site did you see it on?

central4wd.com have them.

but my 2 cents is have a look at the lockrite from states great warranty alot cheaper.

but drive a hell of a lot worse.

detroit soflockers (the expensive ones) have ramped teeth to minimise the jerkyness of the locking/unlocking process. having driven both, the detroit is lightyears ahead.

4wheelonline.com doesnt take international credit cards and dont think they ship outside the US. I tried ordering from them once and shipping to a US address and they wouldnt do it.

The parent company of http://www.4wheelparts.com Interamerica Trading or somthing will take int'l cards and they ship internationally. They have a massive selection of parts, most of it not listed online and they will price match to other web sites. Call their int'l number and speak to one of the reps. They will usually give you better prices than what's listed on the site. Shipping prices are hot though.

Disclaimer
As with buying anything internationally dont expect good or any warranty support if the part breaks. If you want that sort of protection and support buy local.

Other option .. and I already buy from they with my Panamenian CC ..

Thanks but no thanks
I only want a detroit locker they have been around for 35 + years
and are unbreakable
I even have them in my truck a 2002 t404s kenworth with a c15 cat @ 500hp
Looks like bulldogy has come up with a good price including shipping but i will confirm the price when i find out wether it US or Aussie dollars
Hamo

Not to start a war here ...

But I prefeer 100 % Detroit locker than any other auto locker option ..

i prefer the detroit any day,

but be aware hamo, if you snap an axle, they have a nasty habit of breaking due to shock loading. apart from that, they are strong.

Well the deal is dun $825 Aussie dollars to my door
about $300 bux cheaper than the Aussie distribator
http://www.rocketind.com/

the other swine's from the USA havent even bothered to get back to me after they asked if it was for a semi or full floater although i gave them the part number
http://www.polyperformance.com/
so dont bother going there

And bad_religion_au
thanks anyway but I have them in my truck i know how to drive a detroit locker it all about thottle control a 500hp semi with detroit locker's to much right foot in the wet when turning and you just go straight

Any way the winner is bulldogy @ $825 Aussie dollars from
http://www.locktup4x4.com.au/
Thats about $400 bux cheaper than a ARB air locker

I will report back when i recive the goods as to the speed of shipping

Thanks Bulldogy
cheers Hamo

I did reply back within 24hours and NO they still have not replied

I also emailed several other companies trying to buy a detroit locker (When our dollar was 93 us cents) and no one whould ship to Aus

Yep locktup4x4 are on a winner here and so are we the peaple who want to buy parts for our 4x4s and not have to pay though the nose for them

Read this too late as I have got one of these detriot lockers sitting in the shed for 12 months.
Bought new fitted new carrier bearing, then things went horribly wrong with the 75 ute. Did't end up fitting & sold ute.

Might try for sale forum.

just wondering, how much would labour be for fitting the detroit locker? That price aint bad, bulldoggy, can I possibly get a quote for the rear of my 07 hilux diesel?

still a bit exxy for my taste, my second hand one was 200.
