looking to purchase landcruiser ute with factory diff locks. setting all costs aside, are these factory diff locks problem free and work for the long haul? i realize that ARB lockers may be cheaper,but this vehicle has them factory fitted. does anyone have any practical experience with these units? i understand that an electrical problem could be a problem, but on the other hand blown compressor or ail hose damage would also be a problem. any
feedback would be appreciated. cheers, robert

Robert,
I have a GXL 105 series with factory 'locks (front + rear).
I remember they cost just under a grand factory fitted.
I've used them fairly extensively and never had a problem. If you do a lot of creek
crossing keep an eye on them - not hard.
Oh, and don't do a snatch recovery backwards up
hill with them on - the front diff
won't take it!!!.
Cheers....
