I don't know I have an ARB air locker, sorry Wolf but I just had to add that comment.

[cammac]

I'm curious aswell! I would love a set of lockers, rarely need them for what i do, only time they would have come in handy was a steep incline where back left wheel lifted, got my bro to jump out and just give me a push ahah, but if i did have the $$ would be a worthy addition. But yeah ARB need some competition in the locker department to get their prices down!

[Wolf]

Tried searching if i can put an auto locker in the front, or is it just the rear?

[atari4x4]

hopefully his installation instructions are better than the ones supplied with the rear disk kits.

[Wolf]

So i gather this is what u can use at the front?

the easy way around that is to do the install before christmass at home in gladstone where there is actually a brake shop.

not yet.
this is beta test product still under development that should be in between the autolocker and arb options in terms of price, but will actuate under air pressure same as a arb locker.

if your the kind of person who puts things off because something cheaper and better is on its way then this might be the product for you. just not yet is all.

[Wolf]

I like the arb locker, but to dear when ur on youth alowance with odd jobs every now and then, need somthing better then the open, but i dont think a lock right in the back would work for me in my dd

[Jezza86]

need to save more money and buy the right bits, or find a way to drivewhat you want without a locker, or use a winch.

[Wolf]

I dont want the auto locker to engage in the wet or when cornering, but suposivle there no good up front,

[atari4x4]

tried typing in something something chinasong something something air something something locker in to the search?

[monley]

ARB lockers have come down in price. I just had one supplied and fitted for $895....maybe that cus I told them there product was rubbish and they wanted to prove me wrong . But they do have a deal on ATM locker and compressor $1200. Yes it is a lot of money, but been able is choose when you it need is worth the extra $1000 over the auto locker (when it works )

[Wolf]

I wish i could get mine for that price, ill have to ask tomrrow what they can do it for

[GraphicX]

i'm hoping to put a lockrite in the front diff of mine (can also use spartan but people seem to recommend the lockrite over the spartan). search US ebay for far better prices than local ebay, or even jimnybits.co.uk

[monley]

There's no auto lockers that fit front of a jimny that I'm aware of

[GraphicX]

when i googled lockrite lockers a while back a found a couple of forums where people were reporting they'd fitted them to the front, could be mistaken though.

[Wolf]

Was just having a ponder at the interwebs, this seems interesting

[atari4x4]

they will still only "limit the slip" will be good right up until that point you need a "locker" and i'd say they'd be well up into ARB monies too.

[Wolf]

Bought 1500

[sideways]

RS Manufacturing makes a kit to put a lockrite into the front of a Jimny. Pretty sure it uses the centre from a 7" suzuki diff with a replacement end cap. By the time you get all that you could buy a Chinasoong.

[GraphicX]

sounds like a lot of hassle too, i thought/was hoping it'd drop right in.

[jimny_timmy]

No point locking the front of a jimmy without axle and cvs upgrades. You might as well use rice bubbles if you don't, either way they'll go 'snap crackle and pop'
