The answer is easy...................... ARB front and ARB rear

I'd do DTT up front and ARB rear.

ARB is all you people know. Gawd...y'all must all be rich. Must be nice to have a grand to drop on a locker for the rear alone. :shock:

My CRD will be the fith rig Ive added dual ARB's to. The carrier is as or nearly as strong as the detriot, and bugger being able to turn them on and off is worth its weight in gold!

Did you instal the ARBs yourself? If so, how hard were they to install?

ARB's for sure if you can afford them. i have a $300.00 aussie locker in the rear of mine.. made my jeep into a tank traction wise.. and i never have to wonder if it's working.. when it has power it's locked. neutral or coasting it's unlocked. does make DDing it a little tricky till you get used to it. if you want something that feels like it's not there.. the aussie is not for you.

That is that as that has really started the whole idea of getting ARB

I think an auto might make living with an Aussie or such easier.

really don't have $1500 to drop on lockers right now. For some reason my wife does not like the idea.

I wonder if you have to go through ARB direct or a dealer to get that sale? Some dealers (including 4 wheel parts) already gives a discounted price for the lockers. So if I could get a discounted price on top of the sale, then I would buy both lockers and get the air compressor and tire inflation kit for free! Offer is good until April 30th!

Going with an auto locker is a big gamble......................................

I have a Power Trax No Slip as well and it is the very best mod I have done. Been on the KJ for 3 years now. The traction is awesome and it didn't break the bank. If I did have the bank to break I would have done ARB's.

How is it on Dry roads? Any ratcheting? Any different from the factory limited slip in a negative way?

Nop, from my side, not in the city or highway

Obiously in the city you need to make turns slow to allow disengage of the locker.

It is different...if you stomp the gas in a turn it will chirp the tires. Off road is where you notice it as you keep climbing up stuff that your friends slip on. If you have the coin I would go ARB if you really want it to be transparent in city driving.
