Hi everyone,was looking at getting ARB airlocker for my 05 jimny until i found out the price($4,000 approx plus diff lapping if needed)front and rear anyway i was on jimnybits.co.uk and there are powertrax lockrite diff lockers on there.
Just wanting to find out if anyone has had these and if so how they found them on/off road

[zook91]

i rang ARB on the gold coast and was qouted about $3900 fitted with the 2 air lockers and a compressor with the tire inflation kit

[zooky08]

Buy rear rd88 locker from lowrange $956
Buy front in aus $1195 I think
Compressor from lowrange $200 to $300
Pm oozuk on here to put them in $250-$300 per locker
Deal done

[zammit]

have ya looked into chinese lockers? as bad as they sound apparently there pretty good hahah

[jimny05]

That price was from ARB at coopers plains and they needed the car for 3 days unless they had to do diff lapping and that would go out to a week

Don't get ARB to do it...

Buy the lockers from the US and take them to your local diff shop or find someone who can fit them on here...

[zooky08]

Wouldn't even take a day to do it

[jimny05]

thanks guy's will try and pm oozuk to see if he can install them

He's not far from you either. At Bethania from memory.

But he is working OS ATM, so you may have to wait a few weeks for him to get back.

Thats crap. If they said 'lapping' they are talking rubbish. No standard diff needs that, in fact, no after market diff should either.

Go to another ARB store. I've only ever had over inflated prices from these guys.

[zooky08]

Don't go to arb at all. I'm pretty sure any price you get told is to put just the locker in that doesn't include new bearing or any thing.
Joeblow or oozuke will confirm this
Oozuk will put in the new bearings and seal for the price I quoted above If u buy the bearings.
But like said u might have to wait till he comes back from OS
Or you can give it a go yourself, just have to get the pinion preload right

[jimny05]

contacted oozuk but he is unable to do side work anymore,Does anyone know of anyone near Brisbane that could install for me as i'm not able to fit myself or a good mechanic?
Just got a price from chinasoong for an air locker(RD88) for the rear,their price is $446usd including compressor,switch,wiring and other accessories. tempting to get one has anyone got one of these,if so what do you think of it

[jimny05]

chinasoong just got back to me about freight and it looks to be about $635usd to my door so as soon as i sort out the fitting it looks like i will order one
