    FWIW LRA sell and support the Ashcroft locker here, that's if you buy it through them.

    I have been very happy with the Ashcroft equipment I have added to my 130 and with the service and support from them. Far less so on both counts with the ARB locker that the previous owner put in the rear end of mine. I have bought direct from Adshcroft via internet order and stuff arrives within the week.

    You should factor in shafts and flanges, the stock stuff won't last long in that terrain.

    I didn't realise you'd done that!

    I'm going with an ATB in the rear of the Disco and mentioned to uninformed I'd look at getting the case broached for the Maxi Drive locking dog if I felt I needed a full locker in the rear.

    My rationale was I'd really like the benefits of the ATB on road and I'd fit a full locker in the front as that's the end you are more likely to lift wheels with off road.

    I think they stopped making them, but this is the puppy you would have loved. The Detroit Electrac, a locking Truetrac.

    When I couldn't find a LR TBD I came across this unit when looking for a 9" trutrac .It has 6 gears and aggressive preloading, chinese under $500.It is well made with fit and finish as good as the Trutrac.Unfortunately due to a ****wit with a 50 ton press a missing support depth stop and a .015" bigger bearing diam Like most sellers once they have your money nup we don't have spares and are not available Newer Trutracs are now 4 gear and also preloaded

    I've read Eaton change the gear number depending on application and the bias ratio they are aiming for.

    I remember Dave Ashcroft saying theirs is preloaded, too.
    I've always wondered if GKN make them for Ashcroft's?

    high speed roundabout in a defender is an oxymoron or a death wish, take your pick.

    for my 2c on the OP, the best locker is the one you can afford. If the diff is set up properly all brands function as designed. For a set up up to 35" tyres driving as a weekend warrior none of us will see the design limits of the likes of ARB, Ashcroft, TJM, Maxidrive (i left E locker out because there is a sentiment that it is inferior, not convinced myself and mine has been faultless). If you are on 37's and larger and view driving your truck as challenge to concur all obstacles, you will be thinking about upgrades to your diffs that go beyond sliding in HD axles with a locker.

    Current: (Diggy) MY10 D130 ute, locked F&R, air suspension and rolling on 35's.
    Current: (but in need of TLC) 200tdi 110 ute & a 300tdi 110 ute.
    Current: (Steed) MY11 Audi RS5 phantom black (the daily driver)
    Gone: (Dorothy) MY99 TD5 D110
