I replaced my troubled OEM diff lock with a ARB unit.

Below some pics of the damaged OEM gear and the new ARB kit.

Very nice, I put ARB lockers in my Jimny and are very happy with them. No issues so far and it has been almost 2 years now :blonde:

Hi Alex.

I purchased the locker from 4x4 Megaworld in Edenvale from the bargain bin cost was R6500 less than half price.

The install was done by 4x4 Megaworld in Menlyn thus far very happy with the install.
