    I have an Ashcroft ATB in the rear of the D2, combined with the traction control, CDL and fitted a later SLABS unit (to avoid having to wire cut for the CDL) and it's a pretty great combo. Added to the fact it cost less than $300- to fit incl bearings, seals and lapping and it was a bargain (excluding R&R of the centre).

    I would rate the 3 best designed air lockers for a Land Rover as McNamara,Ashcroft and TJM Pro Locker,which is the McNamara Locker made under licence and everyone I have heard that has one fitted has loved them,even on Jap vehicles.

    Ashcroft Airlocker seems to be around $900 ish shipped, my local place quoted me roughly $600 to fit.
    Like I said, we'll see.

    Give Craft diffs in Sydney a call. They did mine for a song, would be a bit more for the air version but I can't imagine $600-

    I'll have a look into them.
    OL made the comment that it seemed similar to the TJM prolocker, if it's not a familiar product they normally send them to a diff mob in dubbo, 3 day turnaround, $1500 install, etc etc.
    I've also got to factor in the cost of a compressor, so I'm looking at those now.
    Blimey the new ARB one is tiny

    Check out the Blue Tongue compressor. About $400- from memory. Have a really linear delivery rate regardless of pressure, good fill times (for tyre inflation) and are very small.

    $600.00 will buy you some very good quality tools to do the job yourself. It is not really that difficult. A manual and a couple of mates and it will only take a couple of hours. Plus you get to see what makes your front end work.
