Ive narrowed my choice for the rear of my 80 series to Detroit, TJM, ARB and Factory electric lockers. What would you guys go for and why? I like the idea of the manual lockers for on the road, but I also like the detroit for the fact that its always there any you dont have to think about it

Without telling you to SEARCH, the majority of the thousands of threads that have starteds like this end with

40% saying Air locker

40% saying lockrite/Lokka

20% detroits

Pros for the

Air locker

You have it when you want it and don't when you don't (turning tight etc)

Lokka

Price and auto and good onroad manners

Detroit

Strong and auto

Cons for the

Airlocker

Price and need for airlines

Lokka

not the strongest and can't turn it off

Detroit

Poor onroad handling behaviour

It all comes down to your personal use and budget. In a dedicated offroad or DD?

My bad, I always thought the detroits were a bit of a hand full onorad and required technique adjustments.
