Eaton E-Locker

Where is the best price on the Eaton? 790 is the best I can come up with, with shipping on top of that, any recomendations?

4.10 & Down, 4.10, 3.73, 3.55 etc. 4.56 & Up, 4.56, 4.88, 5.13,

so is it numeric? or "actual"?

reason I ask is I'll be running 4.10s for now but wonder if it'll be the wrong locker if I did go to say 4.56s or 5.13s Thanks!

Get the one for the 4.10 carrier, If you want to regear later you can buy thick gears

No opinion on the locker itself, but I think they go numerical.

Also, I know I've been saying this a lot lately, but try checking the vendor sections over on pirate, they usually have some pretty good prices.

Sorry, I completely forgot to mention that, front, high pinion. I like the eaton in that all it needs is a power wire to work, so worst case scenario all you have to do is run a power wire to it and it works again. from what I've fount it's one of the cheapest selectables on the market. I have nothing against the ARB, but don't want to go to the trouble of air, the eaton is all inclusive, I've heard it has a nice wire harness and durability comparable to the ARB. I'll check pirate.

PS, no offense but most likely your air compressor will use electricity... Thanks everybody!
