I ran an Aussie in the rear of my old Explorer. Was great off road. Had some quirky on road characteristics. If you accelerate around corners it locks and your tires chirp and scrub. It was also sketchy in the snow but with you being in Dubai that won't be an issue. Also, it has a tendency to 'unload' once in awhile. Sounds like your diff is exploding. I never did get used to that but it's harmless.
For the money it's a great locker. But I won't get another for my JK. It will be selectable or TruTrac for my Jeep.

Overall, great lockers offroad. Cheaper than ARB or Detroit, easy to install yourself. Just remember it will drive a little different on the road if in the rear.

I ran one in the rear of my 97 TJ. Did a great job off road, but on the road it took some getting used to. Mine was a manual tranny, so The clutch HAD to be in around corners, otherwise it would lock up and lurch uncontrollably. In hind sight i would prefer to put one in the front.

I'm putting an Aussie type in my front axle when I get it completed. I think they're great for the money. Install is easier then 90% of the other mods i've done. Put one in my buddy's Jeep last year.
