I've nor long fitted mine.

Prices approx were:

Rover front - $1050
Salisbury rear - $1150
ARB high flow air compressor and tyre kit - $300

I fitted it myself so I can't give fitting prices sorry.

Front bearings were about $50 for the pair
Rear bearing were $100 for the pair

Cheers
Chris

JacMac recently quoted me $1850 for rear 110 locker.

Hey guys,
I've been looking at some form of traction aid for the rear of my 85 rangie, Detroit lockers & true tracs are pretty cheap from the states, around $500....

Question I've got is if I'm going to spend some money on a new centre, would it be worth while putting in some better axels to replace the old 10 splines....
I would like to, but as always have to justify the spend. Would it be worth while going all out and putting in maxi axels, or just a pair of later ones from a disco ?

Cheers.

A. What type You have? Rear TruTrac

B. How easy was it to install (for those that self installed) Too scared to have ago, but after seeing how, next time I'll do it.

C. Inital impression? Really Really Happy

D. Test of time results? 4 months, I trip to Toolangi, 1 to Lerderderg and 3 nighter from Tom Groggin to Licola.

E. Extras you had to purchase as a result of the locker? Nil

F. And most importantly....how much did it cost? $495 including postage from US & bearings. (note dollar improved since then). $150 to fit TruTrac, I removed and installed the 3rd member from the disco
