At the end of the day they do the same job. So no difference really.

Yeah aparently tjm ones have less moving parts so less things to F :bad-words: up and yeah thats a good Q about tyres as reading the arb stuff and by that if you drive it in cases where a locker wouldn't be needed it will be covered but if used in a "Hard" place it won't be WTF but that being said mine can be spining one wheel on a hill and i'll just throw it in hasn't stuffed front of rear yet and it ain't always at low rev's :?:
plenty of parts on the bench

I'm looking for lockers for my 80, and have been wondering the same thing. The most salient points I have been told so far are:

i) ARB have been making their locker for 40 years vs TJM for less than 5 years.

ii) TJM are $500 more expensive on a full F&R install compared to ARB (Prices from TJM and ARB respectively)

This is where people are poorly informed. The TJM locker has actually been around for a long time. Im not sure how long but its over 10 years. Possibly 20. It just wasnt called a Pro-Locker. It was called a Macnamara Locker and was not owned by TJM at that time.

And i dont think the ARB locker has been around for 40 years either. Maybe 20-30.
