With the flick of the switch an Air Locker gives instant lock at any moment and its super strong design allows activation at any speed allowing you to tackle the toughest terrain. The advantage of the Air Locker lies in the pneumatically operated locking system inside the differential. When activated  the Air Locker prevents the internal differential gears from rotating and therefore prevents the axle shafts from turning independently of each other. With both wheels tied directly to the rotation of the ring gear  the vehicle maintains maximum possible traction at all times. When unlocked  it operates like an conventional open differential. An Air Locker equipped vehicle can be driven in an slower  safer and more controlled manner  greatly reducing the likelihood of vehicle damage and environmental impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvides 100 percent traction on demand without affecting on-road drivability or driveline wear\u003cbr\u003e Development - To ensure we meet your expectations  ARB invests heavily in research and development. Our design and engineering team utilizes the latest CAD  CAM parametric modeling systems and finite element analysis packages  and is supported by subcontract companies and universities for special projects like vibration  strength and crash testing. With an air bag equipped vehicle for example  it is essential that the vehicle?s crush rate and air bag triggering is not altered when a bull bar is installed. Our exhaustive testing programs ensure ARB bull bars meet these requirements. We also devote considerable time and resources toward to sourcing new products from around the world. IPF lights from Japan  Warn winches from the US? we scan the globe in search of equipment that meets both the demands of our customers and our own stringent quality requirements.

A region of vast distances and rugged terrain\u003cbr\u003e it was fast becoming a Mecca for the nation?s burgeoning 4WD community. However\u003cbr\u003e the very environment that attracted 4 wheelers also wreaked havoc on their equipment ? when driving in extreme conditions\u003cbr\u003e only the best 4?4 accessories will do. This was the conclusion drawn by Tony Brown during his travels at the time. While exploring the treasures of the Top End\u003cbr\u003e the skills Tony gained from working on his Land Rover were regularly called on to mend damaged bull bars and broken roof racks. Bar work back then was crude\u003cbr\u003e not at all suited to overland touring\u003cbr\u003e and through this experience an idea was born ? high quality equipment that met the vigorous demands of 4WD owners. Upon returning to Melbourne\u003cbr\u003e Tony put theory into practice via the family garage\u003cbr\u003e where he sought to address the product deficiencies he?d encountered. His vision called for a combination of sound design principles and reliable raw materials? a simple solution to an endemic problem. The concept was embraced when it hit the fledgling 4?4 market\u003cbr\u003e and ARB ? the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown ? was founded. Today\u003cbr\u003e ARB is Australia?s largest manufacturer and distributor of 4?4 accessories. We also have an international presence\u003cbr\u003e with an office in the US and an export network that extends through more than 80 countries around the globe. Our philosophy\u003cbr\u003e however\u003cbr\u003e has never wavered from its original course ? quality\u003cbr\u003e reliability and practicality above all else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ARB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47867448361218,"sku":"ARBRD271","price":1299.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/0618\/0354\/files\/ecb5ee262a2de452b86268de5dc033cdL.jpg?v=1786240576","url":"https:\/\/www.lethalperformance.com\/products\/arb-toyota-prado-250-rr-airlocker","provider":"Lethal Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
