TJM Prolockers. Any Good??

They must have priced you for the dual compressor. That's very expensive.

Any of the ARB compressors will do the job. Bear in mind also that the ARB Compressor will include a full loom for the air lockers as part of the price. Plug and play. You will also get the switch for at least the compressor and maybe 1 locker too.


I understand the TJM pro locker made a change to the 'o' ring and the mechanism used to engage the locker. This is the weak link in an ARB Airlocker. You might see it written occasionally guys selling lockers and saying "Old Style Airlocker" ARB changed the design slightly about 15 years ago and most of the comp guys reckon the old design was stronger.

At the end of the day for the average Tourer and weekend car either will get the same job done. Ford v Holden.

Seriously consider the e-locker.

Note that when talking about the compressor the equation then consider also that it will be your tyre inflator too. If you don't need it to pump up tyres then the ARB Airlocker mini compressor and loom is the winner. ARB won't fit an Airlocker and wire it up without fitting their compressor I don't think and they like using their pre made loom.

The greatest weakness to the Airlocker, ARB or TJM is Crash engaging. Ie. Pressing the button with the power on.

Power off, engage. Power on. Never dump the button at full noise, they don't like it. Comp blokes don't like backing off.....

A little mechanical sympathy goes a long way.

I used it only in situations where I was stuck and just flicked the switch.. ohh well
I suppose you learn by your mistakes

For sure Daz & great advice on both posts above thanks mate! The solenoid intermittent blockages experienced were doing exactly/badly that. We would switch on at the base of a hill off load and finally feel/loudly hear them drop in under load/turn half way up. Eventually they got so blocked that all air stopped when next actuated.

You know that could have been your high pressure freespool issue too mate! Water in the lines.

No doubt mate! @PeeBee Phil has kindly spoken to his mates about Festo air seperating gear and coming up with some simple advice to install. Whole system needs fixing as the main storage tank line was split too found.

I found out that the approx $600 for the compressor is the price of the compressor + the price to fit it + the tyre inflation kit, none of which I need. I can get the small locker only compressor + fitting for about $350.

ARB list all their prices + fitting prices on the web which is great for a few reasons. I wish TJM did coz I can't believe it will cost $2500 for their locker installed.
