    Diff lockers

    Lookin at getting diff lockers soon and wondering what you guy's have experianced and what was good and bad.
    I'm looking at putting a Tru-trac in the front and a locker in the back, however I'm interested in a vacume operated rear locker not a compressor run.
    Whats my options.

    I guess the options are a Detroit Tru-trac or a Quaife in the front, and Maxi-drive in the rear. I'm pretty sure JacMac don't do vacuum anymore.

    would an lsd in both front and rear be a better option, might be cheaper on install if you get the two together.

    I'm going Detroit rear and tru trac front in the 110.

    I've used a Detroit before and I like it's simplicity.

    I'm selling a pair of Maxi Drives if you're interested. Shipping will be a bitch though.
    Cheers

    Hey there fellow Territorian

    I had ARB air lockers in my previous Disco. Only issue with them is I wouldn't trust ARB Darwin to install a nut on a bolt properly. I've actually officially complained to ARB head office about work they have done.

    At the time I went ARB because I couldn't get the Maxi-drive at anywhere near the same price. But that was years ago. If I was repeating the procedure I'd be going Maxi-drive lockers and axles front and rear.

    Sally Anne's got ARB air lockers had them fitted by ARB in Albury. They were pretty good. Do the Maxi drives come with the axles or it just an extra your getting dm_td5?

    Maxi Drive diff locks always come with axles.

    Maxi Drive lockers will not operate without Maxi Drive axles. The locking mechanism (dog) slides on the inner part of the axle, locking the diff to the axle.

    It's a different system to ARB/Jac MAC

    I'll second that but not from personal experience... and goto tjm instead...


    one of the boaties at 10fsb had some spotties installed by ARB... and promptly nearly set fire to his ride... the relay for the spotties went unfuesed from battery to earth when turned on....
