    Air Diff Locker On GU

    G-day guys,
    im sure this topic has been discussed many times before.

    The time has come to fit an air locker to my GU

    Whats the preferred air locker people are fitting out there??

    Performance & value for money. I only wanna spend the money once, so i wanna get it right the 1st time. Any pros or cons on which brand/make poeple are using out there on the GU wagons?

    Im leaning towards ARB rear locker ($1732 fitted) & their middle of the range permanently mounted CKMA12 – High Output On-Board air compressor with tyre inflation kit ($545 fitted) total $2277 fitted

    Opions please peoples??

    Cheers

    Air Diff Locker On GU

    For that kind of dosh I'd be doing an Eaton/Harrop eLocker IN THE FRONT and banking the change......
    The rear LSD rocks in Patrols and IMO you go a locker in the front first......
    Just my 2c though.....

    Front for sure mate.

    I am not sure what the eaton is worth but worth comparing the price for sure.

    Note that's saving you make will be no air compressor but if you need that for pumping up tyres then that should be taken out of the price?

    But FRONT FIRST for sure.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Thanks for the input so far guys. Much appreciated.
    My personal theory behind either front or rear locker has difinatly been solved. I will get the front locker done first.
    Now im starting to lean towards an elocker after doing more homework.

    Air Diff Locker On GU

    I priced a front elocker for my GU last year. $2000 fitted through opposite lock in North Melbourne. With the change you can fit whatever air compressor you like, I like the idea of the elocker a bit more than an air actuated unit.
