Update your rig status here! - Dan - 17 Mar 06

Too rich for my blood. Adding a HP robbing accessory under the hood and fragile air lines are why I passed it up.

The Total includes:
ARB Locker
ARB Compressor
Compressor Air Accessories
13 Feet of stainless steel air line for the locker.
I realize it's a lot of money. That is why I posted up here. But due to the make and model of my truck, I don't have much choice.

If I can convince the wifey on this... It's just a rear locker. I won't be getting it till February. Also, I want the OME 2" lift as well. So I'm looking at about $2100 total. (Could almost by a Zuki for that much! :allrighty: )

So does money.
Update your rig status here! - naturalbornmudder - 17 Mar 06
who mentioned money? Do you think I dont know it costs an exorbant amount to ARB an axle?
The point is a rear locker makes a tremendous difference in wheeling and capability.

Anyone who carries ARB can get you what you need. Check out this pdf and see what your part number is for your application, and call around:

I need the RD025, but it's not in the budget right now. After September things will be different. I can live with out it for awhile. Even though my truck is not worthy yet! :laugh:

Dude, "just a rear locker"
You won't realize it until you are locked.. but wheeling is so different with it.. YOU'LL LOVE IT... It makes a WAY cool difference...
I'd say Locker > Lift

There is no front one for my truck that I can find. Plus, what if I decide to SAS. Kind of a waste of a front locker. I am going to do both the lift and locker if I can.
Update your rig status here! - LowNSlowNeon - 17 Mar 06
Im trying to say you dont NEED a front locker.. you'll be way happy with a rear one.
Update your rig status here! - TJVigilante - 17 Mar 06
then don't lock the front yet.

1. You get what you pay for. ARB = :bling:
2. ARB compressors are electric. no HP loss. You can run ARB lockers off engine-driven compressors, but ARB compressors are electric.
3. I've never had a problem with my airlines. Run them through some rubber hose, route them proplery, and use lots of zip ties.
:2cents:

I've decided that I want the whole ARB setup, to include the stainless steel lines. But I'm not sure what Ladydurango is gonna have to say about this. :eek:

Honestly I didn't click the link. FYI, ARB makes a light duty compressor. I'd go with that if I were to do it again. much cheaper. SS lines are nice, but not needed in my experience.
But I can't complain at all about the price of my ARB setup. :iwin:

Just ordered a new set of 5 34" LBT's with a new set of 5 black steelies to go with them.
Gonna run these as my second set of tires for playtime and keep my 31" A/T KO's for my street time.

I've got a green one for sale for LESS than that (plus it's already lifted)....
Throw a $100 spool in the back and go 4x4ing...

:drool:
I can't wait to see this thing when I get home.
Update your rig status here! - AKMark - 17 Mar 06
When do you get home? I forget.
And when I get there I can show you how to get about 5.5" of lift out of $600 or less. Yes it involves 2" spacers, but nothing stacked.

98 Tacoma bought it at an auction it was a roll over. didn't do to much to it right away but now it has a 3" suspension and a 3" body sitting on 35's.
Soon will have 4:88:1 gears, 8000lb winch and new bumpers thanks Holeski.
I would like to put a long travel kit but I can't find any my price range so that will have to wait.
