    Think I may have answered this elsewhere, not sure!

    Original shafts, tapped into onboard air.

    Cheers

    II kept the originals and pretty sure Keith dud the same.

    I tapped in in the engine bay where the pressure gauge is for my emergency air kit is near the eas valve block. But as Keith did his differently so I'll let him answer that.

    I have had twin ARB air lockers in mine for about 8 years now. Never been a problem but got me out of a few!

    ok i have purchased two lockers and two crown wheel and pinion sets 4.1:1 ratio from Ashcroft they are now fully assembled and installed in rig so far so good, they do make a fair difference in engine revs and best fuel economy is around 14lp/100 kms at present. I have only got 500kms on them so far, i tried to get the air suspension back to original also but gave up too many alarms sorry Paul even after all your help i just thought it was too hard.
    So i have installed a full set of Dobinsons with 50mm lift and spacers at 20mm it rides really well and i will live with the shame. I used a remote compressor tapped into the original air receiver and fitted a pressure switch which controls the compressor. Currently the compressor cuts in at 90psi and out at 120psi the lockers are good to go at the push of the button. I will be changing the oil in the lockers next week i initially put 75/90 diff oil in with a tube of Nulon diff and gear lubricant, to help with the initial run in of the components. Test ran for 5kms checked for heat all good did the same at 30 kms and again at 100kms i have spot checked since and all seems good. I will swap to 90/140 and a tube of Nulon in each diff and see how it goes. While i was at it i changed the starter motor as i had the inner guards off allowing replacement of the starter i also changed the starter bolts to normal headed to make replacement easier in future had hell removing old bolts the allen head was rounded and had to revert to cold chisel to get it off. Last few jobs before i leave it alone will be a snorkel i have got an idea to run a pipe inside the mud guard and shape it too the guard internal curvature then fit an external box at the rear of the guard similar to a Discovery 3/4 type see what happens.

    Hi

    Sorry to hijack the thread but quite a few of us are very interested in this approach, so once you get into it could you please tell us how much room there is under there and if possible post some pics

    Thanks
    Steve
