New 90 Hard top
About to order a new 90, have spec all sorted out apart from the abs / tc option?

Firstly, do I need traction control if I later plan to fit arb diff locks?
Secondly, if I have the traction control, is it possible to fit arb dif locks without any issues?(can they work with each other)
Thirdly, are there any issues with the t/c and abs

Any feed back would be great...

ABS still worth having even if you go for ARB's later Thumbs Up

TC will work fine with them too, just not really that necessary. Andy

Bit redundant IMHO.

Unlike TC, you can switch the ARB diff before things become ugly. But if I would have had the TC option I wouldn`t have got an ARB diff. For my needs a rear ARB is just enough.

Do not know how much a TC/ABS option is. ARB are about US$900+air Puma 110" SW

Got both TC and ARB air locker on my 110 and as yet have not used the locker at all. Tyre change and removal of the sway bars has really transformed my Puma in some hard going situations. That said if I need to pull my boat of a beach I think the locker will be very handy.

I heard that a TrueTrac diff (like T/C) would work better than a full lock diff on sandy conditions Puma 110" SW
