i was wondering what lockers to get for my 94, i like to go wheeling but its also my daily driver. I was thinking about the ARB lockers what do u guys think.

arb is a nice locker, I have two of them on my dd

they are expensive though, I lucked into buying both of mine used for a good price.

I like my rear Aussie Locker. (see signature)

X2 on the aussie. Use the search function and you will find hours of reading on this subject.

I plan on going with ARB lockers myself. Mostly due to wanting the selectibility.

I wouldn't mind an Aussie, but they don't make 1 for my v6 rig, and ARB are mucho $$$, I'm saving my money for the Toyota E-locker personally

Don't dismiss auto-lockers. I think the drawbacks are way overblown on the interweb.

As with TC, you can pry my ARB's out of my cold dead hands.

Auto lockers work well, and, for the price, are a good option. Lots of success with them.

ARB is simply the best. You pay for it though.

The only lockers that don't sacrifice performance are the selectables - ARB or elocker.

EVERY other locker trades on-road drivability for off-road performance (or vice versa). A selectable gives you "stock" drivability on road, and fully spooled, positive traction offroad.

Yes, they are more expensive and more mechanically/electrically complex - but you get what you pay for. Also, neither of them have tire size limitations like some lockers do.

I find the "too mechanically complex, more stuff to go wrong" argument a little silly. You rely on a much more complicated, failure-prone, chunk of metal at the front of the truck (the hot bit) powering you around. Air lockers are really simple devises, plus ARBs are overbuilt.

tc

Agreed - also if part of those auxiliary systems fail, you have a perfectly operational open diff ... no big whoop.
