Pete - I had ARB Air lockers in my cruiser and they were great. If you can afford the dollars they are the way to go
I have Lokka in my Rodeo and have had no trouble. I do not notice the clicking noise some people talk about as they unlock. The steering is different (it tends to want to centre so you do not let go of the wheel while turning :-) but easy to get used to and to me no issue at all. All in all I say they are a good product, I have done all sorts of country in them - I love them in the rocky stuff. My thought is if you do not go at it like a bull at the
gate - they will perform without issues for a long time - I have had
mine on for a couple of years now.
Points to consider - I fitted free wheeling hubs so I could unlock the front wheels when on the tar.
Fitting them is not always as easy as stated, so you have to consider fitting costs, my mechanic had to machine some parts to get the tolerances required.
All in all I consider them to be a good enough product and the price is very right. If you are a hard driver and use the gas a lot, I would consider the ARB Air Lockers.
