TJM Prolockers. Any Good??

[10G]

I've had ARB air lockers and probably would again, but TJM have a sale on ATM.

I'm curious to know what others know or think of the TJM Prolockers. I don't know much about them, but I reckon they'd be just as good ARBs lockers.

Thoughts.

We talked about this the other night and I have a memory like a battered fish but there's some pros with Tjm?

It's that old thing I guess, 50% like one and 50% like the other. I had trouble with my 2 ARB lockers but after I went through and fixed up rubbers etc, they were great, I reckon the TJM would be the same. I'll keep looking into it.

Thanks guys.

Very keen to please learn more here of your specific brand experiences blokes. I ran ARB's 15+ odd years ago thrashing without any dramas and now finally back in the HC climbing game have chosen ARB again. Last weekend we found my somewhat installed downwards compressor/tank plumbing was intermittently moisture/freezing the ARB solenoids and seriously 'wacking' until a final air stop of the 'bolt' I guess :-( ?

I know it's supposed to be a 'Prolocker' query thread but just thought I'd put this here as my findings today would affect all air activated lockers I believe.
After last weekends debacle removed the rear cab seat for a closer inspection on @matfew 's upside down trackside correct diagnosis. The ARB solenoids were below the pressure manifold. Matfew whilst inspecting again on day 2 kindly ripped out the diffuser's which got some action back again. The manifold needs a full 180 rotation to have its drain bung lower than the solenoids and better maintenance by silly old me. Long story short, ripping the whole lot out now and remounting correctly up higher where it can be friggin accessed and adding an easy maintenance water trap bowl etc...

So I heard from TJM to day. Although they advertise their Locker at around $1400, once you add in labour, wiring, compressor etc it comes to $2500.

I already knew the locker was just one component of a 'locker system', just ashame it adds up to almost twice what they advertise.

Wow! That’s more than it costs to get an elocker fitted!

Yeah, crazy price I reckon.

I rang up an ARB place. The bloke quoted around $1550 fitted which didn't include a compressor and about $2100 with a compressor. $600 for a compressor seems a bit much, I only need something to run the front locker as I have a factory rear locker.

I know I can get the small ARB locker I think it's the CKSA12 or something which should cost less than $600 as it's only a small thing.

Anyone know what else I can do for a compressor for an ARB air locker???
