    Maxi drive or ARB locker?

    Gday guys,

    Just wanted to hear people opinions on the Maxi drive and ARB diff locks. It's time to install one in the rear end of the Defender and I'm not sure which way to go. Both sound good to me. Anyone have any views on the subject?
    Already have maxi drive axels and it seems the ARB unit is compatible with them. The only difference I'm aware of is the operation of the units, one being vacuum operated and the other compressor operated.

    Interested to hear from anyone who has/had either locker.

    Thanks

    Mick

    g'day D110V8D

    i run front and rear air lockers on my 130td5 dualcab
    rear axle's are maxi's front standard LR axles
    never had a problem with the lockers as yet

    i have the compresser fitted under the passenger seat box
    with the air nozzle coming through the box
    makes for easy access for inflating tyre's

    the compressor is a little slow at blowing up tyre's
    but if you leave your engine running they work better
    also great when camping inflating beds and stuff
    kids punture's

    my 2 cents worth [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
