whats a good price for lockers

Post by **shavedtoy** » Fri May 06, 2005 2:36 pm

just trying to find out what would be a good price for some arb air lockers and compresor? and should i get 1 or 2 and put it the front or the rear? i was thinking just the rear if i only get one just to try and save cv's a little, also would you ever use secondhand ones or not? thanks for any imput.

what car, no reason you wouldn't use second hand at the right price, retail new are around $1400.00 and $1200.00 tends to be a reasonable price, what rig and I will get ya a price

Recomended retail in the ARB 2005 price list is $1195.00 inc plus average $300 instalation per locker.

say you buy a second hand one (say a landcruiser diff)... do you just throw the 3rd in and run some airlines, or do you need to get ARB to install it on the new rig?

it will be fitted to a hilux with a solid front diff,

give or take 50 on $1000 is good for an ARB, then you have to buy carrier bearings, then the install then the compressor.

what about a detroit locker are they any good? and how much do they go for?

If you`ve never had an ARB before you will love detriots, but once you`ve had an ARB you will find them a royal pain in the arse.

Not certain on the price of them these days but when I bought mine 6 years ago (was replaced with an ARB years ago) I payed $1050, then had to get carrier bearings and get it fitted.

why do you say the detroit is a pain.

extra tyre wear, makes rig drive like shit, clunking, banging, backlash not beingable to turn the locks off on off camber slipery stuff, I found it to be harder on the ring n pinion and used to wear them out quicker.

you can import the lunchbox lockers cheeep but you get what you pay for. My rear for the zook cost $290 landed.... but they're not a replacement center like a real detroit.
