bahahah how the fuck does a locker improve "COMFORT" ??? ahh love getting told we need lockers from someone that sits in a office all day...... gotta love arb.
@adrenalinjunkie1991 It prevents people from crapping their pants when they are on a snowy hill or muddy hill and suddenly come to a stop then they turn the lockers on and they can make it up the hill? lol
I wonder what they did with the factory traction control system. ATRAC would of been able to pull the 100 Series up that with no problem. You cannot disable ATRAC so they must of pulled fuses. The 100 is very capable and I could of walked that in mine...
lol what a joke you forget the part where your compressor fails the lines break when your actually wheeling ox lockers are the way to go arbs fail constantly and leave ppl stranded also if u were wheeling in a real rig not something a soccer mom would drive the suspension flex will compensate for most situations i agree lockers are important just not arbs
I've got ARB's front and rear on my Toyota pickup, best thing I have done to it, and I have done everything!!! I wish everything else on my truck was from Australia, the quality is superb!!
What i have noticed over the years with the lockers is that they are almost all the same.
The only difference i can see is the way the locker engages. One uses electro-magnets, the other air pressure, the other and electric worm gear motor, and lastly a simple lever & cable.
Not much in innovation as far as locking the diff is concerned.
Strangely enough my 1973 suburban (center locking) works better then the fancy new 4x4's.
The other thing they don't mention is how much a locker helps when you bust a front hub! You do that on an open dif, and now you have no drive to the front wheels. It just spins the axle on the side with the busted hub. With a locker, you still get one tire that pulls, which is better than no front tires pulling.
Hold it. You mean there are people that even bother to ask "why install a diff locker?" Clearly they have never been stuck in the middle of no where. The ARB products are just awesomely well designed.
@broncovine suspension would help, but that also assumes that every wheel has exactly the same amount of traction, which is not even achieveable on pavement. why do you think that when you gun a 2wd car it always only lays down 1 strip of rubber unless you have posi or something similar intalled.
All locking hubs do is engage the front wheels with the axles on 4WD's. It's got nothing whatsoever to do with the diffs.
Locking diffs replace the standard open diff or LSD, and when locked, mechanically cancel out all differential action - as if the two axles were one solid unit.
Lockers engaged front and rear = 100% drive to all wheels, all the time. No cross-axle wheelspin at all.
Even a single locker on the rear will get you out of many situations.
@garamanth I so just had a guy tell me he had lockers on his 1997 F250 because he got out and locked the hubs in.. Huge heated argument. I was talking about how much I loved my lockers on my 06 TJ.. lol God people rant and rave without thinking lol..
Because locking hubs do nothing except disconnect the axle shafts from the differential. Maybe you need to learn more about vehicles before you go spouting off incorrect information.
well.. to be technically correct, it disconnects the wheel from the axleshaft.. the axleshaft still rotates if the diff is being powered under the case of being in 4wd free wheeling (Unlocked hubs) so.. it doesnt really disconnect the axle from the diff.
so true, i own a jackaroo which is highly under rated but ive bet every one in the 4wd club in every terrain especially sand. its light compared to the bigger 4wds and it has more power so it does well on the sand
Sweet rig!

Do you have to come to a stop before you engage them? Does the compressor need to be on all the time?

My brother has a dodge powerwagon that locks the diffs. It is 36 year old technology.

a locker in the rear will get you out of a lot of problems.
a locker in the front will allow you to get into a whole lot more!

Hi ARB! How much do they cost with installation in Canada? Ur answer is really appreciated, Thanks

Well, if they had a more flexable suspention, alowing all four tires to make
contact with the terrain. their would be no need for lockers.
