ARB air lockers without a doubt my favorite modification, I can honestly say that without these lockers I would have been stuck and in trouble on more than one occasion.
I have covered some of the most remote tracks and terrain in Australia in my hilux and when times get tough there is no other product I would put my faith in these ARB lockers.
From the rugged terrain in the Kimberley region to the soft sandy beaches in the south west of W.A through to the interstate travel i have never even had the slightest of issues .
I would have thought by...Read more

I had front and rear lockers fitted to a new hilux sr5 3.0ltr diesel. The first set failed before 20,000 Kms and the next set failed around 21,000 Kms later (41,000Kms). The Final straw was the SEVENTH set of lockers that let go of a crown wheel bolt that destroyed the diff and housing resulting in a complete replacement of the rear end. It was all done under warranty but a warranty doesn't help when you're in the middle of nowhere and it sh#ts itself, I ended up selling the car with LOCKER NUMBER 8 in it as i could no longer trust it to get me...Read more

Had an arb rear air locker fitted in my hilux two years ago now has been great when working on some of those hard tracks! But to get to the start of the old telegraph track and it not work is very disappointing! I am currently getting it fixed for the 3rd time under warranty, worst fix was early this year when they replaced the locker and diff centre - over $3000 worth! Bolts had come out of the crown wheel and were sitting in the bottom of the diff - it was only a matter of time before we lost drive all together! In saying this they were good ...Read more

Do your homework before you purchase diff locks from ARB. There are many articles regarding the durability and reliability of these lockers and their constant air ring failure along with crown wheel bolt shearing and/or simply falling out that result in a catastrophic failure of the whole diff assembly. Yes they have repaired the diffs 4 times in 87.000 kms on a brand new hilux and was offered replacement standard diffs but no offer of a refund on the rubbish lockers so now I have a $71,000 vehicle that I no longer trust on a road trip let alon...Read more

The idea is great, but the staff/installers don't care and it leads to heart-ache. Failed on install by breaking crown wheel bolts by turning the wrong way. Then when I picked it up it had incorrect axle preload which resulted in a tow truck. Seals failed in 6 months after that and then the copper pipe failed 6 months after that. Good luck. If you can find someone decent to install it then it may eliminate most problems, but the bonded seal wears out to quickly and there is nothing you can do about it. Basically, why put compressed air in your ...Read more

In November 2015, I had front and rear air lockers installed by ARB into my NT Pajero.
The car without them is already a very capable vehicle. With them, they allow the Pajero to track with more confidence through the hard low traction stuff.
The front lockers (can be activated after the rear air lockers are on)are best activated on straight ahead low traction situations as having front and rear air lockers activated will tend to keep the vehicle driving straight and always keep your speed worth safety in mind.
The rear diff locks are w...Read more
