For me , the ARB is the only way to go. You get to have both, a locked rig when you need it, and unlocked when you don't. How can it gt any better than that?
Flip ..... Now you have lockers Flip....... Now you don't
What is better than having that choice at your fingertips?
The only con I see is the price, and with your dollar being so strong buying them from low range should be about half price for you guys. No better time to buy IMHO. You would think so but it works out to be about 100 bucks cheaper than getting them locally  $916 for front
$947 for rear to your door
That's really 200 cheaper
To me thats worth it

Is that with shipping?? Sean quoted me 300 to ship a pair, then had to add installation which I was quoted between 200 to 250 each end

He quote me $90 each
If u spend over 1000 dollars or more at once you may get hit by other charges as well
Better to get them separate I reckon
Yes the prices included postage

So how is the shifting when on the throttle?
I am asking this because I have a spool, and have run one before (can't justify the expense of ARB's yet) I like the way the spools are predictable but do not like the tire wear.
I would run a lockrite, or a spartan if I knew they would click and ratchet as opposed to clunking, and banging (as 90% of them do here in the states.)

And that's the big problem with auto lockers and Victoria. Get on a slick surface and there's no way the locker will unlock, which REALLY hurts your maneuverability, and you'll pinball all over the place.
I'm spooled rear and can't see any reason for an offroad car to run anything else, but I'm airlocked in the front and can't see a reason (if you have the cash) an offroad car to run anything else.
