Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi everyone,

I have a 2000 model single cab hilux 2.7 petrol

I am thinking of getting an arb air locker for the rear of my Hilux, I currently use the vehicle as a daily driver but the main purpose for the vehicle is for being a camping/hunting vehicle. I dont encounter an serious rockcrawling type territory as such but I cover a wide variety of terrain including sand, snow at times and everything in between in tough but not totally extreme conditions

Now I know its an IFS which sucks but I will list the mods so far in regards to suspension.

Torsion Bars: Replaced Original with Old Man EMU
Front Shocks: Replaced Original with Rock Crawlers
Steering Stabilser: Replaced Original with 4WAY RTC stabiliser
Rear Shocks: Replaced Original with Rancho 9000's
Rear Shackles: Replaced with Rockcrawler Greaseable shackles
Bump Stops: Chopped and Modified
Wheels: 15x8 sunraysias with BFG All Terrains 32x11.5x15's

My question is, for my current situation do you think it would be worth getting an air locker ?

cheers

Heath

Why ask the same question in 2 parts of the forum??

Yeah as above
Thought I was losing it.
posted reply in other section then lokked here

One for a general query and one for toyota specifc guys.. sorry

Before yo go getting more stuck, what's your recovery kit like?
Solo recovery is something that's sometimes overlooked and if your going remote...

A diff lock in the rear of a ifs rig makes a huge differance, it makes it atleast useable in the bush.

But if you go out alone lots then I would get a winch first if you don`t allready have one. Atleast with a winch if you get stuck and are by yourself you can get out.

or even a turfer [hand winch] its half the price of a new winch
