The choice of
serious off-roaders worldwide!
Only
ARB Air Lockers provide
the best traction & handling,
off-road and on-road.
Designed specifically for Range Rover,
they also fit Defender, Discovery, and all Series vehicles with Rover type axles.
At the touch of a button, you can lock either or both axles, for unsurpassed
power application and traction. Virtually every other system permits some slip,
and if a wheel is unloaded it is impossible to apply full power to the other on
the same axle. Air Lockers will get you through where limited slips, Detroit
Lockers, or True Tracks fail, and they are usually cheaper to boot. Air Lockers
are vital for loose sand, mud, or snow, or at extreme axle articulation.
On late model vehicles with center locking diffs, the
axles are still open (one wheel can spin when loosing traction), so don't be
confused into thinking that your late model is a true 4WD because it has a
center diff lock. Lock the center diff, engage both Air Lockers, and THEN you're
armed for bear! (Land Rover is currently testing Air Lockers as a factory
authorized option on new models.)
Air Lockers operate silently, too, because air makes
less noise than ratchets or clutchpacks. And there's no unexpected jerking: you
control when the locker engages. The Air Locker
diff housings are also stronger than original equipment.
The air locker compressor is a tough and tested unit,
capable of sustained operation, and can be used to inflate tires that were
pressured down for better traction.
To equip your Land Rover with air lockers, you need (A)
the compressor, and (B) the locking diff units (1 or 2, depending on what you
want). With a Series vehicle, or when using 4:70 or 4:11 ring & pinions in
late models (which we recommend doing at the same time), you will need a ring
gear spacer. When fitting 4:70's or 4:11's to Discovery, a Range Rover style
driveshaft and drive flange will also be required. When fitting lockers to Range
Rover or Defender, only the compressor and differential(s) are required.
Off-Road you demand the best...
and the best is ARB.
ARB
Air Lockers allow you to go further along the trail without extra effort from
the
driver or the vehicle.
