Hi all, Just wanted some
feedback on putting a detroit locker in the rear
and ARB airlocker in the front my 4wd it is a 98 Prado GXL V6. I already have an ARB air compressor installed ready and waiting. Just looking at different options.
Thanks Steve

i asked the question about a lokkrite diff and was told all sorts of things about you cant steer its on all the time you cant switch it off go the arb.
any way friend of
mine fitted one to the front of his 03 hilux.
i drove it around landcruiser park what a huge difference sure it was a little(Very little) bit harder to steer but no other problems.
i think the people who bag this type of set up have
(1)never driven a 4by with one fitted.
(2)have way to much money.
so fit one to the front and arb in the rear.
cheers

I have a detroit in the back and a detroit truetrac lsd in the front of my Prado. Hardly notice the rear in normal driving, and the front is fine except that it's a bit heavier on the steering if you accelerate while turning a corner. I'd be a little concerned about your ability to turn with the air locker engaged, but those with that setup could advise better than me. I'm happy with my setup (I can go more
places than most people...), but certainly wasn't with the clowns that did the job first up. Make sure you get someone who knows what they're about.....
