Do they have a lunch box style locker for the front yet? Im also waiting on the truetrac for the rear. Just don't want to spend the money on ARB.

Ok first off sorry I mustā€™ve missed these comments! Hereā€™s where I came up with my statement, in the past the lockers would break due to one tire spins then catches good solid traction. I have never dealt with this personally because I had ARBs. But have witnessed it happening! Before I went with the arbs I was in the market for elockers and was told bu a reputable business owner. He sold me the arbs for the same cost of the elockers. I had them installed. After a few years of wheeling I witnessed this happening! Now that was a few years ago! And we had a couple guys with rubis that never had a problem..... so take it for what it is.

From the logic you're using, an ARB should have the same problem. Both lock the axles 100% to each other. But I get what you're saying. This is a problem to worry about with any style of traction aid, whether it be an E-lock, an Air lock, a limited slip, a lunch box locker, etc. It's just nature of the beast.

From what I saw and was told when the elocker was engaged one side wasnā€™t locked all the way by design and thatā€™s why it broke. Might be different with todayā€™s lockers though. Itā€™s been 10 or so years ago that Iā€™m talking about. And like I said the Rubicon didnā€™t have any issues at all..

I just wrote a 3 video series for the ARB lockers for sports. I have 1 sitting here and also have a Dana 44 35 spline ARB rd246 unit in the mail. I will be posting them on my youtube channel in the near future. I will be doing a first to market 35 spline shaft kit from a well known company. Cant wait to share more soon.

What's the average labor cost for front and rear ARB with air compressor already installed?

Has anyone installed ARBs in a JT yet? I wrote ARB and they said both axles take RD245 so thats what I ordered. Hope they work!
I have the arb rd245 front and rd246 rear. But running bigger dana 60 sized shafts.

The rd245 front and rear is what you need for stock shafts.

Ok thanks!

Do you know is RCV makes a 32 spine axle shaft that will work with this setup? Couldn't tell on their site.

Yes its the one for non rubicon with fad. At this time I have not seen a fad delete for the sport but dana makes an upgrade for us with fad delete for 750 dollars and chromoly shafts.
