    Thanks for the quick reply Vigo. Is the ARB air locker full time or just activated by push button when needed off-roading or in deep sand? Is this a costly expense do you know?

    ARB would be a push button air locker. Also requires a compressor to supply the air pressure. Roughly a $1400 job if you went through a shop, which I would recommend!

    Thanks broketaco Due to my location i would have no choice but to order this online then have it shipped. I feel this will make a big difference in the deep sand and mudd that we have here. I'll check ARB website

    I mean't installed at a shop:thumbsup:

    And ARB is a badass company, I hear nothing but praise for their lockers. Shop around websites and you may be able to find some deals. Good luck!
