If the budget is there I would go for symmetry! :)

To me the import thing is that whoever does the fitting is familiar wit LR's and fitting lockers to them.


I has some fitted to a 200TDI by ARM Milperra and they were very good but that was some years ago.

You'll go hard to get a better deal than what ARB are offering at the moment!

My County has Maxi Drive rear axle and locker fitted, I've just dug out the invoice for it.

Fitted in june 01 and invoice cost was $2575.00

It doesn't mention the locker on the invoice though, hope this helps

Our county has front and rear air lockers, we bought them second hand for less than the price of one with the compressor loom and everything including spare standard diffs aswell:cool:
Havn't had any issue's to date they are awesome!!!

Also i have just fitted one to the rear of my d1, only tested it abit, but it's great also, no problems!!!

TIM.

cal415 has a sals arb locker for sale in the market place. he is selling it under cost, if you buy from arb they out source the fitting any way so no lose there.

I drive a disco but I'll comment anyway....

I agree, LSD off road is useless. If the power was sent to the wheel with traction and not the one that is spinning uselesly they would be good. I have ARB front and back in my Disco with 37 inch super swampers and the vehicle is pretty well unstoppable. I wouldn't worry about changing cvs, the landy cvs are pretty tough. Absolutely change your rear axles or i gaurentee you will break them. The front axles are actually the toughest around, I know a guy who used to race Landrovers and he swears by the standard front axles and reckons everyone does. I drive my Disco into some very extreme situations and have had no trouble with standard front axles and cvs.

OK just got a quote front and rear with the U bute compressor drive-away $3,600 and I think I could get the heavy duty air line from the diff thrown in.

Be looking to book it in late this month.

You can do better than that mate, I was quoted $3100 front and rear fitted, with a heavy duty compressor (told him I would fit that myself. How hard could it be? And you'll save yourself $500...

I'm going to ring ARB tomorrow and see if the free compressor deal is valid if you don't get them to fit it. I think I'd rather someone like MR Automotive to fit mine.
