You will find that there is not many second hand ARB Air-Lockers around, simply due to the fact that once you get one you don't want to get rid of it.

The ARB is about the strongest Locker you can get (Detroit may be slightly stronger) they do have some problems with the airlines but once as you put a heavier line on it doesn't seem to matter!

The only thing to do is ring around to as many 4wd stores you can, sometimes they have sale and some places sell more than others so they will be cheaper!

Buy new, older ones had problems with coming appart in the diff, need constant checking/maintenance, new loka ctr can be got for 1k if you know someone.

go to ARB and buy for cash over the counter, you can haggle them down to around $1050 (possibly better) if you catch them in a good mood - they're still making money on them supply only down to around 900 but don't expect them at that price, it won't happen. cash+haggle, direct from ARB.

Andrew,

My brother is getting prices at the moment to get some air lockers, we have been quoted $1250 per locker (Hilux) and $360 for the compressor kit. Slightly cheaper in Brisbane.

Could you tell me the best store to contact for a beter price (for cash) as theres not much compertition for pricing up here.

Thanks.

if you can get a few dudes together you can get the price dropped a little bit more but buying a few at a time
