Hi to all Im after some info on a locker to suit front of GU Patrol. I dont do a lot of heavy off road but looking for something that I can rely on if needed. The Detroit does look and sound good but have no real info on the Lockright. Dollar difference is approx $4oo , is it worth the extra for the Detroit.( I have also looked at ARB air locker but have my reasons at this stage to look elsewhere)

Have run a detroit for a good few years now with no problems at all.
I run it on the back as cruisers have useless lsd's. Up front I would be reluctant to run any locker I could not disengage, 2 reasons for this are steering control and the other is shock loading.
I won't question your reasons for not looking at an air locker but they are the ants pants on a front diff.
Hope you make the right choice for what you want.
Have a good one

The Detroit’s are more expensive as they replace the entire carrier, where the Lock rights and alike simply Fit into the existing carrier.
Basically the Detroit’s are solid as a
rock, the Lock rights aren’t quite as strong but should still not give you any problems.

well if you want to spend $2000 or what ever the hell it is on a air locker go for it, me I would rather fit a Auto mechanical Locker save ya money to spend on something else, Fact is the mechanical one work, they are reliable and you don’t need to worry about compressors, Air lines and seals, to me that’s tick in every box.
