Anyone else out there running ARB lockers front or rear on a 67-72? This last summer I put one in the 14 bolt rear and next year I plan on installing one in the Dana 60 front.

Re: ARB Locker Question
No, but I'm thinking about ditching the Detroit locker in my rear corp 14. I may go ARB, still deciding what to do with it. I will probably keep the front open and not spend any money on the front. If you lock the front you may want to look into 35 spline outers. If I were wheeling heavy enough to need a full locker in the front I would up grade my stub shafts and get some Yukon hubs or drive flanges. Then again, if you're just getting the locker for insurance, then I guess it doesn't matter, or spend the bucks on a winch.

Re: ARB Locker Question
Kwmech, I guess I'm just looking for people to bounce ideas off. It all started with living 20 minutes from the start of the Rubicon

Re: ARB Locker Question
I have an air system for my suburban, but not going with air lockers. For the rear 14 bolt ff I bought a tru-trac and for the front 60 I am going to try a power-loc. I had the power-loc sitting around collecting dust, so I am buying a clutch kit and rebuilding it. Just have to find a front dana 60 chevy. Running the 10 bolt for now....open. My last suburban I had an ARB in the front and the stock gov-loc in the rear (14b/d60 combo). I felt the ARB was a waste of money, b'cuz over the 4 years I had it, I think I engaged it maybe 4-5 times. The suburbans wheel fantastic with their weight and wheel base.
Edit, now my wrecker was another issue, 14b rear dually with a detroit locker and D60 front ARB. used that quite often. Last edited by kwmech; 10-29-2018 at 09:41 PM. |

Re: ARB Locker Question
My 69 K20 has a no-spin rear axle, it works great up in the hills, even on the steepest grades I leave it in 2wd. It is noisy on the street. I'm real careful when driving in snow.
I have run ARB air lockers in my last two trail rigs, CJ5 and in the Defender I have now. These are the best, as you stated, no need for lockers most of the time, but when needed they are there. They come with a switch panel that would be easy to mount to the bottom of the steel dash. On my CJ, i mounted the compressor on a home made plate next to the battery tray, I used the tray for some of the support, and had one stabilizing bar. I am using the small compressor too, I have a larger one for airing up tires. Make sure to carefully route the air lines, keep them away from any heat. I wrapped the air lines on the Rover with plastic conduit for extra protection. Hope this helps a bit! |
