Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Going 4 wheel steer wondering who is running what lockers.

Thought of air lockers but I personaly dont like the air side of things think the lkocker itself is great but the rest could be better.

Detroits I have been told now by a few people that they fail under the shock loading of brakeing an axle

E locker nice but very expensive

Lockrites had a guy over here last weekend brake the carrier apart

Full spool will it affect turning or with 4 wheel steer dosent it matter.Ran one in the rear of my old lux for a couple of years compared to open rear was very hard to get tight around a corner.

Any thoughts?

Duncan

my preference would be air lockers
cheers

No rear wheel steer but i have a detroit and done two cwp's one twisted axle and one broken axle and the detroit is fine, but only sticky 37's and 30 spline chromo axles.

i know some guys have converted Lsd lockers to be hyd operated.....instant on, instant off

agreed

Duncan if it was me running toyota diffs if run the Elocker... never once had issues with mine and you dont have to worry about the air side..

I read some stuff on pirate4x4....and when talking to a mate, who use to build axles, lockers etc he said "yep sure, same concept as the ones I have drawn up" that and the 2 speed comp winch and planetaries that would fit in a 16inch rim........etc etc.

Im pretty sure I read it in the general tech section of pirate...pretty sure it was on a toyota and pretty sure was from spain or somewhere....if you find it post a link here
