    However, it seems to be effective for most road conditions. I assume it's not suitable for rock climbing.

    So a short bed with e-locker is a better way to go. Is it available in a TRD Sport double cab 4x4 auto 2010-2012?

    That will be a TRD OR, not a TRD SPORT.

    If I was going to buy a DCSB ( puke ) , I would get the Offroad

    I have an 07 DCLB and I want air lockers eventually.

    Is it as simple as buying 2 ARB airlockers, and a compressor?

    You still dont get the much better electric assisted master cylinder with integrated abs unit like on the 09+ TRD OR 4x4's.... but i may be a lil biased.

    IMO there is NO reason to get a DCSB / AC TRD SPORT.... not when you can get the off road in the same configs and have the locker regardless of 2wd or 4wd.... and in 4wd you get atrac which the sport 4x4 does not have.

    That stated if DCLB is desired... then TRD sport it is.

    What's better, the e-locker or an aftermarket like the ARB?

    ARB in the "8.4"in diff (non elocker diff) is going to be a little stronger than the stock elocker setup due to design.
