Locker ?s
Got a question on Lockers here ya'll. What I'm looking for is a manual 100% lockup deal. What I mean is, I want to be able to switch on & off completely, when it's on both wheels spin no matter what(except broken things), when it's off I want it to act like an open differential. Gotta be strong too, high hp/tq engine(603/657) up front and 38" tires all the way around.... So what's the best?? Don't care about the function that makes it lock(ie air, electric) It's just gotta be strong and durable! Thanks!

It really kills me that there's no e-locker for the D70. 
I'll be going ARB's but I'm a little unsure about the whole air system. All I can say for sure is a LOT of people have used ARB's for some hardcore stuff and they still have a really good reputation. I figure they must work more often than not.

I've never heard they werent strong, just the seals go bad easily and the air locker becomes basically an expensive open carrier...and They don't even make an eLocker for the 9 inch or D60?

Well, I wouldn't say its as bad as all that. As Ivan pointed out, they are used succesfully for hard use by thousands of extreme wheelers. But they certainly have more points of failure than the elocker. It kills me that they don't make one for the 70 either. I'll think we'll be seeing more options in the next year though.
