Thinking of running these on my 08 jku! Anybody have them or know much about them? I just want to know if they are worth looking into cause it's not too expensive for lockers!

I run one in my front end, and a Detroit in my rear end. They are just a typical ratcheting locker. When power is applied, they lock, and when you let off they disengage. They are not as strong as a Detroit, but they work a little smoother. Easy to install and it should always work. They are cheaper and easier to install because they just replace the spider gears, not the whole carrier like an ARB or Detroit.
Not ideal for street driving since you will not have selectability, but I do have a good friend who has one in the rear end if his toyota pickup daily driver and he does just fine. You just need to learn how to drive with it.
I have an Aussie locker in th front of my 2012 jku. It locks up perfectly and makes a bit of a clunking noise on hard turns but it is great for the money. Easy to install as well as long as you have the right tools.
I have had one in the rear of my old YJ and loved it! I will be putting one in the back of my jk. That being said I have heard that they really suck in tight turns under power as they are locked upon power applied. And in snow it is very difficult to turn in 4wd.
