Ashcroft front air-locker

[Drover]

Well look what DHL just delivered...:D

A new Ashcroft full bolt in front diff complete with HD gears, air-locker & pegged.

It's the final piece of my Ashcroft upgrade :banana::banana::banana:

Spanners to turn.......

Nice new toy mate.
What's next, new engine upgrade ?
Must be a capable truck now.

Same here, sniff..

Lovely kit. I hate to think what will happen to your mud flaps once you've fit the locker....

How long did it take.

Install half way there.

Centre in, air line connected, diff guard on and prop shaft connected. Just waiting on new wheel bearings, oil seals and lock nuts.:BigThumb:

After 30,000k's the Ashcroft CV's and 1/2 shafts look like new. No burr's inside the CV's & not a twist or blemish to be seen on the 1/2 shafts.

It's looking great mate! Is it a difficult job to do yourself?

Not really, just nuts and bolts nothing too mind bending.....lol

Hardest bit was trying to lift the new centre up and in, while laying on your side underneath.

Looks great, just about ready to order a rear setup , how did you get around the Australian customs duty ?

Thanks mate, I might look doing this once mine is out of warranty - fitting these voids the warranty and I don't want to do that just in case!

Dock, I didn't, got slugged an extra $365 worth of duty and other associated fee's. What can you do !

Sandgroper, yeah warranty is voided but only on the bit you have replaced & nothing Ashcroft is going to break so who cares !

Hi Drover any chance sending me the contact at Ashcroft's and part numbers I need to order for the same setup as your rear , so I can get the ball rolling.


Will I be using the original axles or di I need new ones ?

That's great to know, considering you give your svx a good working over.
:D

hi, excellent set up, if you don't mind me asking what were the costs involved with this diff/ delivery?

Air locker, heavy duty gears, pegged, diff casting and fully set up.
$2400 to the door..
Compared to the cost of an ARB locker - then setting it up, the price is very good. Plus I got HD gears and pegging as a bonus

[Drover]

All finished, all 4 wheels back on the ground.

Just quick test drive today and as you would expect from Ashcroft's smooth, silent, engages and disengages without issue.

:D
