There is a new kid on the block. The Yukon Zip Locker. It runs $100 less than the ARB and has the same features and operation. Check Randy's Ring and Pinion for availability.

Fits the following applications

Currently applications include:
Dana 30, 27 Spline, 3.73 and up
Dana 30, 30 Spline, 3.73 and up
Dana 35, 27 Spline, 3.54 and up
Dana 35, 30 Spline, 3.54 and up
Dana 44, 30 Spline, 3.92 and up
Toyota 8" 4 Cylinder and V6, 30 Spline
...And are well under $700

Patience fellas. This is a new product. I suspect they will be making one for the 8.25 and 8.8 sometime in the future. It is like when tires come out. It takes awhile to get all the sized available.

Seems Yukon gear has been coming out with lots of new products. MY only issue is.. I broke a inner side chromo shaft from them. They replaced it, but I lost a day of wheeling at Paragon cause of it. So to me their hardening process is subject, cause it was a clean sheer.

I snapped a Yukon front ring gear and yes they replaced it for free but it was back ordered for a month , so I was just screwed , they lifetime warranty there parts because they know there gonna break , I rather spend a little more money and not even worry about a warranty if you know it's gonna hold up , so far the main things I haven't broke on my rig are the parts that don't come with a lifetime warranty

FYI ... these are a copy of the 1st Generation ARB units. Not the new ones.

They honored their warranty, but I was still 6 hrs from home without a spare shaft. Had to get one local, and still lost a day wheeling. I know my fault for not carrying a spare, but I didnt think I would break an alloy shaft on 35's, thought a u-joint would pop first.

Joe what are the differences between the first and second generation ARB's? I never had the money to buy one so never did any research into them, but would still be good tech.
