Default Tj Factyory air Locker??

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.
