TrueTracs arrived from USA

My two TrueTracs arrived from Keith at RoverTracks this week.

If you are thinking of getting any, now is a brilliant time to do it, the AUD is currently over 90 cents.

It was as easy as

A couple of emails to Keith, a phone call to confirm a few details and the diffs turned up 1 week later. No dramas. He even organised 2 new bearings for me.

Cheers
David

I had a couple of enquiries about the price, so thought I'd just post it up here. I don't think it is a private thing, but if the Mods think otherwise just delete this and PM me or something.

Front and rear were the same price of US$480 each (for my 2001 Defender 130).

If you have a Salisbury diff in the rear, they are a bit more.

Postage was US$119 each diff, and they came by US Postal Service Priority Mail straight to my door, no mucking about with customs or anything.

HTH

Very good value and Keith always provided top service.
His axels are a beauty as well.

Hi All,

I understand that Keith is no longer selling lockers! (see reply from him below)

i have not heard back from his contact.

So what is the cheapest way now of buying a truetrack LSD?

cheers, Steve


Hi Steven,

I'm sorry to say I'm pretty much out of the locker biz. I have arranged for my supplier Randy's Ring and Pinion to do their best with the guys in OZ. He should be be able to give you a better price as well if you mention internet pricing.

Shoot him an E Mail
banderson@ringpinion.com
Tell him I sent you.

I would be interested in what he comes up with.

Thanks Keith Untitled Document

I see these guys don't stock LR gear so interesting to see if they take up Keith's suggestion. Randy's Ring & Pinion. The Differential Experts. Auto Parts & Services.

There are other Detroit international retail suppliers in US but I don't think any of them come close to Keith's price/service. Shame he is quiting Detriot gear.
