Eaton/Harrop Electronic rear diff lock

[RokitRyder]

hey Drew,
just wondering how was the price compared to an air locker? and also where the wires enter the diff will there be a water problem?

Cheers mate.

[shane308]

so dlux have you had a chance to use it in anger yet ?

[Dluxv6]

Rokit
slightly dearer by about $100 over a locker but you have to buy compressor
wires enter diff at top thru a compression grommet so no issues with water that i can see

Shane
always the issue when you get a bit of good gear is then work mounts up so to your quiz
no i havent used per say in the bush but had a play on construction site to see what is like
so far so good
love it
push button locker
will post when i get out to use it

Cheers Dluxv6

Hmm, I know a good bog hole at Springfield not far from Mudgeraba. Do you want the GPS coordinates?

Hopefully you can give the e locker a good work out on the aussie day trip to coffs. I've been eagerly awaiting your feedback on it. Hopefully you can get it under water at some stage aswell to see how it holds up that is my biggest concern for ya, hopefully it's as watertight as a frogs @ss

Mate i second that x2!! will be great to see how it goes at coffs especially under a bit of water??

[Dluxv6]

Not at all mate. I'm stoked that someone is trying something away from the mainsteam. I reckon you got balls heading in that direction without really having any first hand feedback on the product. That's why I'm right behind you mate, and wishing you the best. I hope it works for you, cause you've spent your hard earnt bucks on this thing. I don't want to sound like a C-hunt but you seem to be the guinea pig for all us guys sitting on the fence, waiting to see what the outcome is. I'll jump straight on board if the e-locker is a goer. My missus has put a hault to my spending until well into the new year so I can sit back and wait to hear what you or anyone else has to say about it. But you have it, and you can tell us all about it as you use it. I'm not trying to jinx you, I just want to know any pros and cons.

and I just thought it was about time you gave it a bootfull and told us all about it

[MADDOG]

Drew that sounds very boring. you've got nothing to prove that you didn't have a problem. Are you sure you didn't blow a seal???????? or blow oil back out the end of the lines??

[Dluxv6]

Maddog
diff works fine just havent had the chance to give it a real work out and there is no seals to blow or oil blow back to worry about thank god

Cheers Drew

[MADDOG]

Can someone please supply me the part numbers for the rear locking diff, spoke to Harrop and they said only the front is available...they knew nothing about the rear.

Strange. Last time I talked to Opposite Lock, they thought the rear was available (as they had ftted a couple) and the front wasn't but when they looked in their catalog, there was a new listing for the Front as well!

I bet it is listed for a 2005+ and you told them you have a 2007 or something like that

[Ox Man]

i thought the front had not been developed yet???!!!

if it is im going dual elockers.....
