Several years back the ARB engineers redesigned the locker cases
from a three-piece design to a more solid two-piece design. Now that
the heavy lifting was done, they turned their focus to the finer details
like the air delivery system. This is ARB’s new banjo-style bulkhead
fitting kit (PN 170114) to allow the air line to pass into the housing.64 Jp jpmagazine.com OCTOBER 2019From its beginning in a tiny Melbourne,
Australia–based shop back in 1975, ARB has
continued to pump out awesome parts and accessories gear to
keep wheelers around the world happy and well equipped. Of
course, the company is most well known for its selectable Air
L ocker desig n t hat a llows t he d r iver to easi ly choose bet ween a n
open d i f ferent ia l or a f u lly locked d i f ferent ia l w it h t he push of a
button. That button activates a circuit that delivers air pressure
to actuate the locker.
While the concept has remained consistent, the engineer-
ing team at ARB is always striving to improve the reliability and
versatility of its products. A few years ago, the Air Locker itself
got a design upgrade, taking it from a three-piece case design
to a more solid two-piece design. Now a simple new fitting
introduced by ARB can make your Air Locker one of the most
reliable pieces of equipment on your Jeep. Here’s a quick look
at that new fitting and why it’s a must-have upgrade for anyone
running ARB Air Lockers.Air
