    Send me a PM with what you are interested in. If you are in, post back up in here and make it known what you want. Please keep the pricing private. All the pricing will be the same, just not public. If we get a large enough party interested and committed, then there will be another break on pricing. Not HUGE, but still, every dollar counts.

    If you are on the list and not interested - Let me know that also. I will remove you from it . Trying to keep this list realtime so please be conscience of that. My goal is mid to end of march to put the final order in. That is approximately 4-6weeks. Personally, I am ready with cash in hand for the things I want. However. I know that there are people that need a little time. For that, I know it sucks to miss out on a deal when we are just a couple days or dollars away. Trying to give everyone enough time to get their ducks in a row.

    Lets focus on the ARB gear for now, and in a couple weeks, closer to time, I will ask everyone what gears they are interested in and move on from there .I need F&R 4.88 and that is a necessity for me.

    Might just be me but, if the savings aren't significant enough you will not get enough interest. You will get a bunch of these VVV and I am included. I want to know what kind of deal I get before I give it a 100% yes or no.

    I really want to get rid of my rear E-Locker and put the ARB one in there.

    WANT->

    (1)
    $1,091 RD121 Air Locking Differential
    RD121 front plus Nitro 4.88 thick gears solid spacers new bearings (front)
    (1)
    $1,091 RD129 Air Locking Differential
    RD129 rear plus Nitro 4.88 thick gears solid spacers new bearings. (rear)

    - Now I am no authority on this, and want to know if I install or have installed the 4.88's over the E-Locker, can I later swap those over to an ARB Air Locker giving I also swap out the whole rear end? What I am basically asking is "Is there anything special about the gears besides the fit meant/ spacer kit that would prevent me from swapping them over in the future?"

    Ive heard of people reusing gears but if you habe some miles on them the wear will be different and I think creates problems

    Yeah, you have the elocker with the 8" housing in the rear. I hate to say it but you'll have to do a axel swap in the rear.

    Better bet is to do the anytime elocker mod. And slap a front locker in the front diff. Just note that you can only lock up when your front wheels are pointed straight. You don't want to break axels with turns.

    For sure. Great tip.

    I know about the rear. Was going to see if there was a standard axel at a pick and pull or similar. I remember a few people taling about putting the E-Locker in their stock taco. Not sure if they ever did. Would be inclined to swap with them.

    Yeah I am working on the same thing. Just trying to find a local taco wiling to swap. Kinda why I am holding off on my mid travel rear.

    Also my land cruiser install guy hates the air lockers. I asked him about it and he was not a fan. He said they burn up compressors and they bind. I dunno if he is a one off guy or what. But it concerns me. He has done more mechanical stuff than I have. But maybe he is just a one off hater.
