Okay, hope this works.. These are two images of my installation... The first one is the switches of which i've already installed (i've also added another switch next to these as an activator of the compressor and the switches (photo will follow)). The other is of the rear ARB air locker before installation.. I've decided to use a Grande Boss Air compressor to activate them, and so i can can have other uses out of it too... I'm still awaiting the arrival of this compressor and will put pickls up whn i can... More will follow if this works

i'm keen on more pics/details!

plan on putting my own rear locker in my 75, but want to see others try it first before i have a go at it.

wow i like the idea of putting the switches there i'd never thought of that mine are in the centre console so they can easily get knocked on or off by things flying round the cabin might go out and do some investigating.

cheers mark

Sorry guys, I've already installed the rear one... Due to it being my first install, I completely forgot to take pics; I required full conentration and i was in a rush... All I can say is it seem to go well... The difficulty I had was adjusting the pinion backlash to how it was... I RECOMMEND GETTING A DECENT VICE FOR THIS PROJECT; it was very difficult to remove and tighten certain bolts without one...

I've now also installed a Boss Air compressor in the back, with a 15 litre tank.. I will defo pics on soon with the current set up... I have had proplems with leaking oil seals coming off the axel (diff and wheel seals) since install... I already had a diff oil seal leak before the install, so I know its nothing to do with the install... I beleived the diff breathing hoses didn't allow sufficient air to escape.. I thought they were fine when I blew into them but I think there was a small occlusion of the hose creating extra effort for the air to escape.. I hope that its fixed now...

I havn't installed the front diff lock yet, and will defo take pics of my instal when I get around to doing itl, now i know what to expect...

The Boss Air Compressor and tank... I've screwed it onto a board... I'm going to ecompass it in a wooden box eventually, with draws for added space...



The ARB solenoids insitu... As you can see, i've only got the back air locker in place thus far....Theres also a pressure switch on the bottom to turn off the compressor


The switch set up with the compressor actuator swicth insitu.. Unfortunatly, the diode light has seem to stop wroking, so i'll need to change it...
