It seams that it is impossible to get a rear ARB airlocker for a sierra any where in Autralia. At least till mid June.
Ended up having to get one through locktup from the states. Has any one else found this problem

i asked tjm just the other day, they said they dont have them. i assumed that it means they dont make lockers for sierras, but maybe that was what they meant...

tjm developed their own locker called the pro locker but they never got around to making one for the sierra before they stopped production.

i had the same issue abotu 2 years ago when i got my locker... seems to be a constant issue. You'll find the US market gets preferential supply as theyre a bigger market.

I had to wait about 4 weeks for mine to come in, and even then it was one that an ARB staff member had ordered way earlier - except customers get preference over staff... lol poor bloke was devastated.

Just call Sean from lowrange. He does great deals on airlockers. You will get them faster and cheaper than from ARB here.

Not available for Vitara's either. Due in late June.

I was thinking of ordering it from the United States of Arseholes. Works out alot cheaper too.

ARB should take better care of their local customers.

Yeah there's none in the usa either unless its store stock. ARB USA have none. Locktup found some in a store halfway across the country from there store in California. And there $1155 delivered any where in aus, bout 40 dollars cheaper then my local store. Today there was 128 on back order in Aus

The coin doesn't bother me Id be happy to pay more just to get one right now. I have a set of lonely cromo CVs and axels on the bench and a broken front diff. I just find it amusing that you can get an Australian product cheaper delivered from America, its bull shit really. Australia is over run with greed
