Thread: best diff lock for a D2

The best Diff lock you can add to any D2 is the Centre Diff lock. Depending on the year of your car will depend on if you have the internals and just require a linkage to "hook it up" or whether you will need to add the new front output housing / diff lock components to your existing transfer case, and then hook that up.

Here is a thread about CDL.

There are other threads too.

gone bush,Are you talking about F/R diffs?
Maxi drive lockers were the most popular but not in production any more, Jack(John?) McNamara, arb air locker, then you have Detroit ect.
I have not smashed my standard axles yet but will be purchasing after market soon.

Maxi drive lockers are really popular in LandRovers, but I reckon in reality that there have been far more Disco2's specifically fitted with ARB lockers.

Naturally Maxi/Hituff axles.

If you can get one of these, it is the best option imho..

Land Rover Genuine Parts 2004 Disco2 Center Differential Lock Kit

The 2004 Disco2 is the only Disco2 that comes from the factory with a CDL shifter, and what an effective and smooth mechanism it is. We have heretofore advocated the fitment of a Disco1's CDL shifter as the most elegant and quasi-factory method to lock the Disco2's transfer box. However, we now opine that the 2004 Disco2's CDL shifter is a far superior method and is really the only way to fly. The cable-actuated 2004 CDL shifter is noticeably smoother in operation than the hard linkages employed on the Disco1 CDL shifter and the lack of hard linkages noticeably attenuates drivetrain noise and vibration inside the vehicle. Our CDL Kit is composed of all Land Rover Genuine Parts and contains everything one needs to lock one's CDL-ready transfer box, including the shifter knob, 2004 CDL shifter body, cables, fasteners, and other appurtenances. (Not included is the 2004 CDL placard, as this part is not available separately through Land Rover parts channels.) If your transfer box is not CDL-ready, i.e., not readily lockable, our CDL Kit is not suitable for you. Rather, our CDL Kit is for the Disco2 that already has a readily lockable transfer box but lacks the means to lock it.



That's what I'm putting in....

Hi guys thanks for all of the responses, I was refering to the F/R diffs. I have the cdl equipped transfer case as i have a 2000 model but am looking for a cdl kit. Mick if you dont mind me asking where are you getting yours? If I go with an arb locker as I already have the compressor should I upgrade the disco axles? cheers again everyone JP

I would (and did) upgrade the axles when fitting lockers if funds permit.
