    ARB lockers are air actuated and the driver selects when they engage and disengage. Most lunchbox lockers don't - they're automatic.

    Toyota's e-locker functions same as the ARB but actuates by virtue of an electric motor rather than air pressure.

    he should have prices today:D

    he said for the arbs he will do his best, but even retail the profit margin on them is extremely small so will be hard to get a really good price on them and still make it worth his time, we will see!!

    I might be interested in 4.56 gears front and back, and possibly an ARB locker for the rear, and maybe for the front too.

    How much I get is all dependent on prices and cash flow. Closer to tax season is definitely preferable.

    Is the buy just going to be for the 4:56 gears since they have the most or all gear sets? Im really hoping you can get the 4:88s also. And is it just going to be for the ARB locker only since it has the most?

    If I am not mistaken, the first gen tundras and the newer tacos have the same size front axles, I am not sure why Toyota did this since Tundras blow theirs faster because of the bigger engine = more weight...
