DETROIT LOCKERS AND DETROIT TRUETRACS
davidlandy:
ARB for me - had one on the rear of my 90 for 3 yrs now and its fine
you can bring it in exactly when you need it real easily, that can help you turn easier on the slippy stuff when a locked axle just wants to send you forwards.
not so sure about how useful a front one would be and would consider an LSD for that.

I wouldnt say no to a set of ARB lockers but i would say no for the near £1000 price tag for having 2 of them in.

thats just you convincing yourself not to fit them,
there is a reason that nearly all the competitors on the OBC Oz use ARB's :wink::wink::wink:

I'd love ARB's on my rangie. I'm sure they're an amazing piece of kit and I'd have a set right now if I could, but I can think of 1000 reasons not to fit them. (each reason looks like a pound coin :wink: )

The trouble is ARBs are too good compared to the rest of your land rover axle.
I can think of a further 1090 reasons not to fit them and that doesn't include the extra 790 reasons for diff peging and ring/pinions.

You misunderstood what I was trying to say.
The guy was asking about lockers so I was explaining what extras you have to do to fit an Air Locker...
As I stated at the end of my post I wouldn’t say no to a set if the price was cheaper. As not everyone can throw thousands of pounds at a land rover with out there "other half" chewing there ear off
