Locking Diffs - Air or Electric??

No tricks just 'point it and drive' on the best line you selected.

Gee I'm glad you said that! I wasn't game to answer that question, thinking perhaps I might not be aware of some technical 'requirement', 'cos I do just what you suggest.

Have personally always chosen fast select changing air lockers in my mountain trucks BG mate. (Quirky airline issues can and will probably arise at times though) Reckon from kindly learning on other threads here as well that an e-locker front in our family GU wagon would be the easiest and best next mod if found needed. As others have kindly also mentioned, our Patrol stock rears almost perform like locked up out there on moderate+ family adventures proven to self.

Interesting video. For a dedicated rock crawler I can understand why he says the e-locker is not perfect, but doubt that the 1/4 to half turn of the wheel in those sort of circumstances are ever likely to be an issue for me, although I suppose if I had seen that video before buying it certainly would have added another element into the decision making process. I reckon I'd have still gone with the e-locker though, just because of the extra work/complexity involved in re-jigging my existing air system. No doubt from that that if an air locker were chosen that the TJM has definite advantage over the ARB.

I went the Harrop E Locker route in my 2010 ST. Rear only for now due to LSD failing so had to be done anyways. Front E Locker in the future. Installed by a diff shop.
For me it was because it is hassle free. Just hook up a power source and flick the switch.
