what locker, ARBs have a 100 PSI presure switch so will need that much is my guess.

do they need cosnstant pressure so that you could pump up the tank before you left and away you go or do you have to have the compressor there and is there anyway that you can have a looped system to save air

They need pressure to stay locked in.
In theory you could take a tank of compressed air with you, and get a number of 'locks' out of it. How many would obviously depend on the size of the tank, length of airlocker line, the number of leaks in the system and how badly the locker itself leaks.
...in short, just buy a compressor. ARB's tiny activation only compressors are pretty cheap.

100 psi constant pressure to stay locked, dump the pressure and the locker is disengaged.

Word around the traps is that TJM lockers are currently unavailable - production has temporarily ceased (apparently a problem with production facilities rather than the product itself)money_killer wrote:i would be going tjm but thats just me.Mulcahy wrote:ok thanks i will look into what compressor i need and what locker wether to go arb or tjm what are your veiws and wheres the best place to buy these
In any case i'd buy an ARB, but that's just me

The company has responded with a number of "restructuring intiatives" including completing the sale of the engineering division, selling the car loan business Capitalcorp, closing and restructuring the TJM factory and a significantly reducing staff costs at CMI head office. The company said it had "deficiencies in the current capital structure".

Go ARB, been around a long time.. and will be in the future (so no future issue with parts)
ARB sell a locker activation compressor if you don't want to get the bigger one (less than $200)
Better off doing it properly now and having it reliable
