So will this work in my Xj D44? Is it worth the hassle to get it cheaper than your common air locker name brand?

They're decent lockers and it'll work in a standard D44 housing but they use a specific air pressure and it's best to use a factory pump.

Well I decided to go with a lunchbox, but if I can get this for the same price... now I'm just worried about the factory air specs.

Looks like they run with about 10psi, where ARB needs about 100psi. Also I would need the regulator module which is about $150(wholesale, which I have access to). this module is what keeps the proper psi for this locker. Does this make this setup cheaper than a Spartan locker... considering I was gonna get on board air anyways for other usage.

It'll outlast a Spartan is much more friendly on and off the trail. I used to say good things about Spartans till mine gave up on me after 6 rides.

Since a Lock Right is cheaper in price, are they cheaperly made? Got 15 minutes to decide...

Lockrights aren't made any cheaper but their springs tend to wear faster and I had bad experiences with them. Of all the lunchbox lockers I've ran the Aussies were the only ones that lasted and worked right.

Just checked out their Web site, and I like their price. My buddy installed a Detroit in his ride, so this weekend I'll get a first hand feel for an automatic locker road handling.
