I haven't seen a post about it yet. They each have their own pros & cons. Detroit with it's all time locking and the arb with it's engage and disengage air system. Some of you even run both detroit and arb. What's the deal? spend more money or spend less and still be satisfied?

Front detroits in general are not smart, a ton of extra wear and tear, not mention poor steering at best. ARB great in both ends just as reliable as any detroit if set up correctly.

Detroit is a great locker but Arb is there when you need it and no extra wear'n tear when you don't need it. Plus the sound when disengaged sounds awsome!!! If you do get Arb "independent4x.com" has great steel braided air lines made for Arb lockers with all the fittings you will need included. That with a "jet packs" from Powertank now your talk'n traction. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
