Front locker on the cards for us D40 owners?

[Matt76]

I heard rumours of ARB possibly working on an air locker for the front of the mighty D40, so I emailed the company to see what I could find out.

They responded saying that they have indeed started work on a prototype, and that they had committed to making it happen. Approx availibilty was the end of 2010.

Fingers crossed it actually happens.

ARB must have just realised that not everyone drives a Toyota, took them long enough.

Been waiting a while for this. I already have the rear one fitted....along with the solenoid and air line for the front one.........come on Mr ARB get your finger out as I've had the rear one now for more than a year.

We should all start emailing them asking about it, bet they'll get that welder cracking then!

Do it, they might move it up the line in front of the Great Wall locker.

i've been sending emails every couple of months since mid last year, i don't think ARB has got the message yet though,

I was looking through another forum's "shed" and was amazed to see how many d40's are out there having a good bash in the bush. They're not just a tradies ute

SO ARB - GET THE MESSAGE WE WANT A FRONT LOCKER !!!

I wouldn't be blaming ARB, Nissan is the problem for using a R180 diff in an aluminium carrier. As the saying goes you can't turn pig $hit into strawberry jam.

you should look into buying some us parts and converting yoru front end?

Hmm, just like R200 swap the D22-D21 owners have to do.

SAS swap with a JK Jeep Dana 44. Looks like it can be done. Who's going to be the first one to try??

Wow. Not that many JKs in the wreckers... Probably cheaper to flip a right offset axle.
