It is. I got mine in Dec. Has been faultless. Just seems to have taken them ages to "officially" release it for sale.

Standard ARB one, mounted in the drivers seat box. switches are to the right of the steering wheel in the small aperture. I made a plate to fit them into then bent it back at around 70 degrees. By all means take a look in May when we go to swaledale

In fact this reminds me. I should really sell the "old" diff, it's only done 6,000 miles after all.

Love to look Mike
The switch location sounds a great idea. I was thinking of going the T Max route and in with the battery. I'm not decided on the whole thing yet though. I've another Landy I want to put some money into before I buy the locker. |

Keep the old diff then if you sell the 90 easy to swap back. MMmm would fit the front on a 110

What does one actually need to buy and do to upgrade both diffs from standard to ashcroft air locked.
The simplest way, but best result (pegged or non pegged?, etc...) |

you need the actual locker which you can then build into the diff yourself or get it built in for you. its not an unbolt/rebolt job though
you will need an actuation system - so an air compressor (ARB or similar) or a halfords comp and a drinks bottle will work some 6mm pipe and fittings and and air solenoid to actuate the feed to the locker. (i believe pipe, solenoid and fittings come with Daves locker) if your sticking with 3.54s then i wouldn't bother with having it pegged. if your going for 4.11 which means you have bigger then stock tyres and prob >33" OD then it may be worth considering.

Even if you're sticking with standard ratios you may want to consider fitting an Ashcroft HD ring & pinion set in the diff. The extra cost is not great, and if going to that much effort anyway, why not get the best you can.

You should, if finances permit, seriously consider the new Ashcroft HDP38 replacement centre complete with locker.
Avoid all the issues that the stock centre will bring you in the future. |
