ARB air locker or E-locker
Guys,
I'm having difficulties in deciding which one I want installed. My rig is not pre-wired for the e-locker and I can't even find the ECU harness. I just talked to my local 4wheelparts store and they charge $300 for the installation of the air locker. Is this too much or just about right? It'll take them a day to have it installed aside from just being 40 minutes from my house. Both almost cost the same excluding labor if I go with a new locking 3rd, ECU, harness, gaskets and everything else from Toyota. Please help me decide which way to go since the wife already gave me the okay to modify my rig. Thank you all for your inputs.

George

Don't have a good answer for you, I think either way would be fine, but would you mind trading wives with me?

Talking My rig
When the time comes I am going with a factory E-locker and then I might get something else up front, but I don't think I'll go ARB, but I won't say never. If I get another daily driver then I'll put in a front locker but don't really see the need for my daily driver...

No way . Anyway, I really torn between the two especially now because my rig wasn't prewired. It will be a lot of work nonetheless. Keep them coming guys.

Brian,
Any particular reason for not going ARB? Anyway, how far is T'town from Anniston? My in-laws live there and I'm planning to go there next month depending on our ship's schedule. Thanks.

George
