Just read that tjm are about to release there own air lockers for landcruisers (75/8/9 80 & 100). There still working on other models. Price is expected to be $1200. About time arb had some competion. Might get a airlocker for under $1000 in future.

I actually know one of the guys that did the R&D on those lockers and they have been in the works for years. Just be careful of bugs that they will need to iron out in the first year or so. ARB still have problems with seals.
Cheers.

We have heard in NZ that this tjm locker is of similar design as the arb one but the seal system has been improved. This is only grape vine onfo.
Does any one know when they will be on the market.

i was at arb
brisbane today , and found out that you void your warranty if you are running 33's or bigger. i hope tjm has more faith in their new locker.

(1) Pro locker coil spring $1200.00
(2) Ox compresser to suit locker $450.00
(3) Fitting cost $450.00 ( may be need to replace worn bearings.

They are Lying scum, crap you "need" the ox compressor, you could use any compressor with a pressure switch and tank.
Don't let them suck you in. I've seen so many setups where people are runnning ARB compressors for the lockers and bluetounge twin toungs etc for tyre's, it's a total waste. Just put a $20 pressure switch an a small tank on your existing good quality compressor and your away, no matter what brand it is!
