ARB front and rear :003:

:imwitstupid:

I replaced axles with detroits front and rear, much prefer the ARBs as you can leave them off, and switch them on when needed

Or you'll get through/up/back out without help/big revs/numerous attempts...

Plus you can tackle stuff and a slower pace and revs...less damage to truck/contents/terrain...

Depends on driving style, if you like nailing it then lockers could cause knock on problems as of course more stress on UJ's etc...

Lockers :icon_super:

Title: Re: Axle lockers - who has them?
Post by: JamesH on October 25, 2011, 07:43:19 PM: Detroit rear, Truetrac front. Would go proper full locker in the front, probably ARB if re-doing it.
