    Call east coast gear supply. They are smart as hell. I added the bushing and the air locker. That didn't come up when I ordered

    Yeah that's the case with the TRD e-locker and the fork engagement it uses but I'm not sure how the Harrop one works

    Yeah the TRD locker is a pain to get engaged sometimes.

    Funny how 3400 is a little easier to swallow than 3950 even though I know I would still need to buy a compressor

    Air locker vs e locker, the real big difference is if you break something on the e locker while locked you stay locked. With air it'll unlock.

    The rear elocker is cool, I like it, but for the front I'd go air for 1 the instant lock and for 2 the on board air. It'd be nice not to carry a c02 tank or a separate compressor. Plus for the front you want to be able to lock and unlock quickly and easily so you can lock up when needed and unlock to turn to avoid breaking a cv.
    (From what I've read, bear in mind I won't have a taco with a front diff until tomorrow morning)

    The instant on-off for the front is a damn good point. Rears don't turn so not a big issue. Hell most of the time when I hit the trails i turn the rear locker on and just leave it on till we are done.

    I was doing the same until I wheeled with Madison, and she's all "I want to go as far as I can until I need it" and I was all fuuuuuuuck... she's right. So then I used it when needed or when I wanted to drift haha.

    Locker anytime mod will need to be done soon on this next truck.

    It's instant on but not off. Sometimes it takes a couple seconds. E locker on all the time will cause tires to wear faster

    Harrop is an electromagnetic locker, so only fail on it is an electrical failure, good side is if it fails, it won't be locked. There is no maintenance done to it ever, and it works super fn well. Down side is it takes a small amount of movenment to engage, unlike an arb. Reason I didn't go arb is because it has two points of failure, electrical and air leak. It has gotten me out of multiple situations, and ecsg installed for 100 when I regeared.

    I don't drink Jameson anymore.

    And if you get the ARB twin compressor you may just bum off me which would be 100% cool given the times you stuck around to let me air up.

    I've learned that the hard way. I used to leave my rear locker on 90% of the time we were on trails but I started noticing it chewed my tires up pretty good. I just turn it on when I think I'll need it now, I've learned not to rely on it as much.

    If your looking for a harrop, just know it will be way more expensive than an arb, but worth it imo... @Cruiser Brothers hooked it up, and Ward is tha man
