    THAT SUCKS

    On second thought no it doesn't

    Well I got another quote on Maxi's and they have indeed gotten more expensive. Apparently they have made changes to how the front works and it is heaps more pricy now. I think it's going to come down to a rear maxi or F&R arb's for me I'll know early next week.

    The update from Today is that Maxi's F&R are now 6.7k

    So, we're looking into ARB's now. Maybe even putting maxi axles with ARB lockers. Has anyone done this? It should be possible, right?

    2.9k. The front is the big bill. It's 3.9

    ARB quoted 3.6 with compressor for front and rear. I'd like MR to do it though so we'll see what they come up with.

    I assume these prices include fitting???

    A rear (sals) MD locker was 1.5k (supply) last I checked.

    A front MD locker is so expensive because it includes upgraded CVs. But you can source these yourself and save money.

    Remember that with the MD lockers you get upgraded axles and CVs. So $800ish for the rear axles and $700ish for the front, plus another $1000ish for the two CVs.

    So $3600+2500 = 6100 - that is comparing apples to apples. And you may be able to get cheaper fitting on the MD locker.

    C. Inital impression? Great, in my rangie i had to use speed and wheel spin to get up a hill, smae hill with lockers i just idle up, much easier on the passengers and drive train

    D. Test of time results? one air leak in the air line, didn't have spare joiners, locker still worked however the compressor ran constantly, now i carry some air line, joiners, olives etc

    E. Extras you had to purchase as a result of the locker? a new front right cv (there is a good chance it was 220K old), upgraded the rear axles dur to the drive flanges being flogged, they were not twisted or brocken

    F. And most importantly....how much did it cost? previous owner picked up the bill
    Geez, same for me except I paid for it and use the ARB standard compressor. Did the airline and same CV too..
