Has anyone installed the ARB locker in their Ranger?

[WyoRanger]

I am considering adding one to mine.
Do you like it?
Is it worth it?
Who did your install?

Thanks,

I know a shop here in California that just did one yesterday. you need to run a Jeep jk rear 3.73 gear set. Along with the rd245. Customer was very happy.

don't you have a e locker?

You do not need to do a jeep rear end swap??? ARB has a kit for our Ranger with the M220 rear diff, not sure why they would swap in a Jeep running gear.....

Also I think he is talking about the front air locker from ARB

idk anyone with them in the ranger yet but loads of tacoma friends have the arb front or rear or both and they like them a lot the only thing that sucks is its an air locker so if a line gets damaged it wont work plus its noisy but other then that its a great locker

If your ranger has the welded ring gear you need a bolt on ring and pinion.

thanks jeep

The problem comes down to an Engineer thinking its a great idea to weld the ring gear to the differential....... Due to that you have to get a new ring and pinion(available through Stage 3) when getting a new locker..... Also the Jeep and Ford share the M220 rear axle.

Being I have the FX4 I do have the E locker in the rear. I am looking for the front ARB. I think it would be the most economical choice. I looked at the Spicer advanTREK E locker front diff swap. They are only pricing out the 32 spline axle in 3:73s now. nothing on the 29 Spline. However, I could do the Spicer install myself. Saving the install cost.
