I'm starting to seriously look at a locker for my 91 pickup and need some opinions. I plan on either going the cheap route, with a Lock-Rite or something similar, or going all out and getting an ARB. Any recomendations? How difficult is the ARB compressor to wire up? Also I'd like to lock the front eventually. Should I have reservations on locking the stock IFS? I've heard other guys on the board doing it with good results. Any and all opinions are appreciated. Thanks alot!
Wiring the compressor is very simple ... keeping the airlines from not leaking a little harder but possible ...They make an ARB for the 7.5" IFS but I'd had some doubts if the IFS is strong enough for that ..I put a truetrac in the front .. works well and I feel less concerned about my front axleMatt
I like the idea of the E-locker, but I heard the wiring is a bit involved. You need relays and fuses and all kinds of crap to get it to work right. I know you can convert the E-locker to work off a cable, which I think would be a little more fool proof. Also, can the mods to the housing be easily done while to housing is in the truck, or is it best to remove the housing from the truck to get better access? To convert to cable operation, would you just use a parking brake cable?I like the fact that the compressor for an ARB could be used for airing up tires as well.As far as the Aussie lockers and the like, they are pretty sweet, but I really want full selectability. Keep the info comin', thanks!
For the front I would consider a Detroit True Trac. From what people tell me you don't even know it's there when your steering. The only bad thing is if you have a tire off the ground you have to step slightly on the brake to keep it from spinning. They work great as long as both tires are on the ground.

my only question on the ARB is if you don't use it for extended periods of time do any of the seals dry out?
WELD IT! Weld the rear and put an aussie in the front. Never better. Wont break the bank or your truck. Tire wear is a load of crap. I have been running my 33 swampers with a welded rear for 3-4 months as a DD and I have seen ZERO abnormal wear. Do it and dont look back. A locked rear makes a world of a difference.
