Thread: Front locker... Mcmanara or ARB

"TJM Prolocker " is no Longer Available".

I'd go with ARB lockers and you'll get the new design ARB Compressor which pumps tyres much faster that it's predecesor.

After seeing his and having heard no bad feedback (except for customer service) i would go the jacmac, it looks so much stronger and doesn't have the o ring problem of the arb's.
They are both good but my money goes on the jacmac

Hmmm, I've never heard that until just now.

I have heard from a souce that runs a TJM store that the pro locker is temporarily out of production until they build up stock. They are now building them inhouse, it would have been good to maybe have a look at the prolocker as an option but oh well

yes thats true, the prolocker is very similar to jacmacs, geoff showed me the differences but i can't remember them now, from what he explained/showed me, his is a superior locker, pity he is a little difficult to communicate with

I,ve had a jacmac rear locker for 15 yrs,used in anger,in my deefers never a problem.On one occasion, got stuck in mud during a tropical storm in sunny QLD towing a off-road camper .Engaging the rear locker we inched our way out. I believe ARB were sold and I wonder if parts will sourced from O-S with usual outcome.With Geoff what you see is what you get ,but underneath he is OK, I would deal with him as it would be face-face and that is something that doesn't happen in todays world, much the pity.Anyway best of luck with the project and I am sure either product.

Jac mac is prolocker(tjm don't have the copyright for landrover well that is what they told me when i asked about mine). Matt mine are jacmac lockers and in my opinion are superior to arb because of the o ring problem. But in all seriousness there is bugger all between them. If you want some pics of mine then pm me and i will post them for you.. I run the new arb compressor that came wired for diff locks. An easy install as long as you know some one that can set the crown and pinion.

go the JM.

far stronger than arb.

OH jeeze now i'm turn between between the two, I don't know what to do, I will be getting the ARB activation kit for a definate. Maybe i'll call Jac Macs again and see if I can get anywhere with him again and if he is difficult, I might just go to ARB.. Fitting them isn't a prob as I have all the gear at work to do them, press, dial indicator etc
