And for what ya pay arb after sales service sucks. I chucked a genuine locker in the bin because they reckon they couldn't get the cup shims that sit behind the spiders... Went and brought an auto locker. Guys in our club seem to have more probs with ARBs than Chinese ones. Got a friend in Nelson w...

I'm of the opposite view I'd rather go genuine arb locker and compressor The extra money you pay is for quality of materials and testing Actually my arb compressor had made in china written on the box lol Fair enough, We've never had any problems with the Chinese ones tho, so I'm 50/50 :lol: I gues...

You will need 26 spline cv's So does this mean I need a replacement or I just need to have a vehicle w/ 26 spline CVs? Because my Zook fits between the specified years that the locker I'm looking at is designed for. and a RHS cv support bush Is this a part that should be replaced during the install...

So if I run a big enough tank and have the compressor slowly fill that to say 85psi, I should be able to air up from 15psi to 20-22psi ok? I'm thinking of either a 16L or 40L tank from work would be good, however I don't quite know where a 40L tank would go in a Zook

setting the diff up ie installing C&P and setting preload, mesh and backlash isn't a DIY job and can easily result it the diff eventually going "bang" but installing the diff into the truck once its been set up is an easy DIY job :D So I should take the diff head out myself, then off ...

Do these knock-off compressors have a pressure cut-off. Because I'd like to plumb it into an external tank and run a 'T' from the tank, one end to the front locker and the other to a connection where I could inflate my tyres from, but I'd like to know whether the pump keeps on pumping until it can't...

Guys, I was just wondering how hard is it to fit a ARB copy air locker to the front of an Escudo. Is it a DIY job, or would I be better to take it to a shop. What is involved and if I'm best to take it in to a shop, is there anyone you'd recommend to do so in Christchurch? Thanks guys

Copied from 'ORE Westcoast Easter 2017' Yup I'm in :D Assuming we can cater for trailer queens. I've stayed at the Reefton motocamp in the past, great spot for a base of operations for that area. Good pub nearby too :mrgreen: Does this mean it'll be complete and ready for the 2017 ORE meet? Hahaha!...

Here's the ad I was referring to: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1150392834 We have 12 Chinese lockers fitted to various trucks in our club and they haven't failed yet. But that is just the locker... We run a lot of these knock off lockers in our club and they do very well. Guys run...

What is 'bead locking tape ' google doesn't help . Any other names or description? Cheers I dunno.

It's sounding good to me guys.... will hopefully come along.

Are you referring to 30's or 31's?
Thanks

We spent an hour in Dad's RRC stuck in a river on Tailings, but I think with twin lockers, a good line and a winch pulling me across, I might be good. Maybe

How much of this could be driven in a Escudo on 30's with twin lockers and HD front and rear bumpers? It's a daily so wouldn't be looking for any serious damage if any, plus would have to drive home in it. Last time I did Tailings it killed us, but what's the nick of the track like now?

Am looking at some 30x9.5R15 but was just thinking what is the minimum mods needed to get 31's under without rubbing. I'm already running a +2" bodylift and trimmed arches. Cheers guys Edit Just saw some reasonably priced 16" rims on TM w? a Suzuki stud pattern so was wondering if anybody'...
