I'd scrap the ARB and get one of Dave's new lockers!
....I certainly won't be putting ARB's in if I have to do it again!

Why not wait till the Chinese knock off Dave's design too!?

Then all Dave's hard work can be had for a fraction of the price....

looks like ARB may finally come through with the parts.
$350ish to repair the ARB so not too bad

ill stop hijacking this thread now i was just adding my personal experiences with ARB parts availability.

i originally made the decision to go with ARB because i thought id have parts available easily and all the touchy feely stuff bout aussie jobs too

going ashcroft when i can afford the 2nd locker

Rear Chinese Locker in D1 Tdi> Still no issues so far> I have towed 3+ ton 22 foot boat>Heavy car trailer with car on it> various 4wd trips>
If l break it, l will be the first advise the malfunction and symptoms for all to see.

G'day Dave,

Food for thought on the lockers, like you say, Im willing to give them ago for that price. Hell, if I can get 3 years out of them on the 20% off road driving that I would do in a year (even then 5% of that would be with the lockers in!) I'll be happy!.

How did you go with the install? Like most of us have experienced over time, reading a Chinese instruction manual can be as painful as grating your face off with a bastard file. I have pretty good mech ability so I should be alright.

Lastly, I have gone to the purchase page and have had to leave an enquiry as there is no pricing available. Did you have to do this and if so, did they get back to you quickly?

Cheers
