Thread: LOCKERS.

Is that a Pom saying that? You must be joking. All the stuff they put on cars and the number of companies who specialize in"expedition equipment". Some of the articles in LRO are laughable where they have all these tricked up cars to go along a 5mile Greenlane which is about as challenging as parramatta road.

They look to be quite expensive and let's not talk about their sequential gear boxes, Land /Range Rover 6-Speed Sequential Gearbox .

Quaife makes good stuff but very $$$ - Ashcroft make a similar torque biasing diff centre (AT that a number of members here run (myself included), they also make an ATB for the centre diff so you can run three ATBs in total if you wanted.

While I'm not sure if Quaife make lockers, a full locker is more popular here in Oz, presumably as it gives you drive when push really comes to shove (i.e. in wheel lift situations).

That said, an ATB gives you benefits pretty much all the time, and works surprisingly well with the occasional wheel lift (particularly if combined with traction control and/or left foot braking).
