Thanks for the input guys.

Everything 4WD in Cranbourne is doing the job for me.

Please feedback how you find the experience once you've had it done, & more importantly how you find the elocker.Quote:

Pretty excited at this end fella. Been waiting a long time to get locker fitted
Great stuff - let us know how it goes
Really looking forward to hearing how it goes......
How much is it setting you back?
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Not much change out of 2K, which is better then ARB quoted me with onboard compressor fitted as well with air lockerQuote:

No update. The OP hasn't been here since July...
Ok, well I will post up my experience with the elocker. $2200 fitted. Comes with an awesome cube shaped space case.
Actuation is silent. The way I think they are best used is 1) planned use, activated before an obstacle or 2) didn't think it would be needed, but I'm stuck, and need to get out (maybe last ditch before you break out the shovel!).
My main experience is mud so far... It doesn't make you suddenly un-stuckable. The same rules apply in mud, momentum being desirable. The difference is that in between the really slippery bits, both front wheels (I had the front only done) are keeping momentum going. Before the vehicle would sometimes come to a halt with one front wheel spinning
Activating it, once you had come to a halt in mud, still leaves a dicey feeling when you get going again.
In sand, (haven't done much testing yet) I found leaving it off worked better. Especially turning full lock, where you can put a bit of right foot in to pull it around.
So I still managed to need to winch myself a few metres up out of a bog hole before all 4 wheels stopped spinning. You have to experiment and work out what does and doesn't work!
Worth it? I'm impressed. It is that little extra something that gives an edge over a standard 4b and allows you to go further - and get back.
