do they make e lockers for 2002 hilux?

Do you think a e locker would be strong enough to lock the rear up for a burnout and 1/4 run at willowbank?

There is alot less torque involved in breaking traction and creating smoke then there is pulling a 2t truck up a 45degree embankment, as well as spinning wheels and then them dropping to the ground with traction.

Perhaps look into a Auto Lokka? As its about a 1/3 of the price i think.

What's total package for front and rear e locker worth? Have been quoted $3800 for front and rear ARB air locker + compressor installed.

I'm guessing so, I doubt they would sell knockoffs..

looking at those prices, 2440 + fitting (depends where but could be 600 to 1000)

will have a spare compressor as well.

I was quoted $4200 for elockers front+rear (fitted). Too many bikkies, so I went the rear auto-locker instead ($1100 fitted)

Mine were $2000 for the rear and $2200 for the front, all fitted prices and a bag full of recovery gear thrown in.

add about 290 for the arb compressor and they are the same price, i would prefer the e-locker 100000 times over arb lockers

it aint all about cost gents, or else we'd all be driving greatwall.

That said, there's nothing wrong with the air lockers, marginally cheaper.

I'm sticking with electronic locker.
