I went ahead and ordered the stuff I needed from Marlin to install the E-locker diff in the front of my rig.  Looks like after it is installed and ready to run I will be in it a total of $575.00 as to a new one for $1,300.00.

Can't pregnant dog about that!

It's built Chevy tough with Toyota stuff!

After much debate, I went with the ARB's, they are being installed right now. From what I have read and heard is that they will be trouble free as long as  a quality instal job is performed.. .  :yesnod:  :thumbs:  Plus having the air blow off when they are disengaged is pretty sweet!! :hammerhead:

The air blow off is the sound of cheating :)  My detroit is stealth off road and a pain in the tailpipe on the street.

 I would go with e-locker because its toyota :clap:  and everyone has arbs :mad:  so i would just to be differnt also i think the e-locker has a better design as slightly cheaper. Go to inchwormgear.com and look in the e-locker information page to get the info u need.
