They are Chinese copies of the ARB air locker. I think the brand is Offroad but can't be certain. I have heard that the switches that were at one time supplied with them even had ARB on them.
You have to remember they are cheaper for a reason and that is due to a number of reasons, including but not necessarily in every case, poorer quality materials in manufacture, less quality control in production and also assembly and are not backed by international reputation.

However the local supplier, Mike from Runva, is very good to deal with so you have no worries there. Just as he provides good back up for the Runva winches, he does the same for the air lockers.

If cheap air lockers is what you are after you might like to also check out Steve Whitton at 4WD Fibreglass in 136 Ellis St Hamilton, phone 078467815. www.4wdfiberglass.com He also has the Offroad brand air lockers imported for most vehicles and has been selling them for 5 or more years. I understand he personally checks each and every locker before selling.

It's not that im looking for cheap lockers i was just asking if anyone has had anything or know of anyone that is using them.
The reason being, that my 105 cruiser got ritten off from a head on 4 weeks ago and now i am im the process of trying to get all my info together as i have lined up another one.
The one that i am getting how ever does not have any lockers in it, as i had ARB one in my last one.
As always whether you pay top dollar or pay peanuts you will all was bad ones.
Thanks for to input And Mike at Runva is a bloody nice guy and i would highly recommend him to anyone.
