As their website implies, it is supposed to be able to put up with that.
Jeep don't use ARB's. Theirs is some low-pressure or vacuum actuated diff, IIRC.
I've got one broken E-locker given to me by GearMan. I know Inchworm and Rocklogic4x4 have seen a few too. And I agree, there are far fewer of them being beaten hard than ARB's.
They both seem to hold up well, I'm just a little wary of the E-lockers myself.
Apparently we've been over this before, Shane.

So.... strength doesn't seem to be the primary issue. I think cost, personal preference, ease of installation, availability, etc. should play a bigger role in the choice of which to go with.
If you're a wheeler, then you've probably already got some source of air (or you should!). So if you want something easy to drop in, do the ARB. If you've got the means to modify the axle housing and/or are a die-hard Toy-only fan, then go for the E-locker....? They're both good, pick one!
