monty Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have a mate who is looking to get an unbiased opinion on what type of locker he should get...(as the places he was looking to buy seem to only stock one type). The way he explained it to me was that he has 3 options. 1 - A LSD 2 - ARB Lockers 3 - TrueTrac I know a lot of you have these types, but wanted to know the pro's & con's of each, and what would be a good setup. Thanks ciaran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Its been discussed before so a search will help, alternatively look on the crowndiffs website as Steve has excellent explainations of all types on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 As has been said, there is a huge amount of discussion on this topic in other threads. however, to progress your questions we need some more info: What vehicle? What application? - i.e. overlanding, pay and play, challenge events, speed events etc?? Budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget? yip, sorry about that...i always leave the important bits out...his is a 300tdi 90, with a 2" lift i think... he is looking to compete in challenge events such as the 3 Peaks, and some of the scottish hill ones...not sure on budget but cheaper is probably better.

In that case an ARB would get my vote. In challenge events you want to be able to control whether the locker is in our out. Unfortunately it doesn't meet your second criterion as it is not the cheapest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well he's decided to get an ARB on the back and do a bit of shaft hardening...do you need to uprate the CV joints at the same time as the shafts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
