diff locks

just a question with ARB air diff locks.
being the only air locker i know of would they fit in a xr6/8 ute. due to having a locked diff being dangerous in the wet if your are unexperianced so unlocking and locking would be handy.
i cant afford either the diff locker or the ute but just a question. and yes i do not indorse ripping skids and making excessive smoke from your rear wheels.
(please move if in wrong area.)
thanks.

The BA falcon RTV ute already has a pushbutton locker. (electic solenoid activated)
There are some 2WD applications for ARB airlockers, but I'm not sure they do one suitable for a falcon ute. (but if its an old one with 9"rear...
)

ARB make a locker for the commo so I'd think they would make one for the ford too??? But maye not.

they make one for a 9'' too, which you'd want once you blow stocko POS ford use. Its borg warner 78 in them isn't it? you can get a lokka for them
cheers

There was one in the classifeds on here a few months back (sydney I think), and I believe they said it was a Hilux one that was fitted to an RX-7. I was rather surprised at the time.

Which is what is in the BA RTV ute.... like I said in the original reply.
I thought they were borg warner 78 though not ford 8.8. ford 8.8 is F150 rear not falcon.

i think in the ford rtv the electric locker will auto unlock at 80kph, incase you forget to turn it off

it's a common practice to fit complete hilux diff housings, diffs and axles to the arse end of series 1-3 rx-7's, due to them being stronger than the standard live axle, and about the right track width

not of it's not set up though the computer it won't
Wrangler rubicons are the same- it's a liability thing and can easily be bypassed.
