ARB Air Locker Question

[Razor]

I have front and rear arb locker in my FJ60

Question:
Will the front locker out of my 60 fit into the rear of my 77 fj40 ??

nope, not unless the rear 60 is a full floater. you can swap the rear to the front but not the front to the rear. Some folks use a rear in the front so both are the same and they can swap if need be.

cheap bastard.......just buy another ARB

IIRC, it depends on which model is installed.

There are two models: the RD02 is for full-floating axles, and the RD08 is for semi-floaters. If you have an RD02 in the front, I don't think it will work in the rear of your 40, but it will work in the front (I assume you're going to change the gears around as well).

The catch is that I'm pretty sure you CAN use the RD08 in full-floating axles, but not the other way around since the RD02 does not have provisions for c-clips. So if you have an RD08 in the front (possible, but a lot of hassle to check), it'll interchange.

Hopefully someone who knows better will correct any inaccuracies, but that's what I seem to remember.

RD02 is the front FULL-float unit - can only be used in front or FF rear applications.
RD08 is the SEMI-float unit - it can be used front or rear.

So yes, alot of people prefer to have two RD08's, so they could swap if ever needed. I run two RD02's, but I have a FF rear. The RD02 is marginally stronger than RD08....

so you have a rear full floating axle? that would not be stock for a US fj60.......but it might have been added.

Well,
I am reading it right off the reciepts from ARB...

RD02 Landcruiser Full FLoat... $901.19 each.

I know that cal put some time into every piece of the entire rig, will these go in the front of my stocker 77 FJ40

It may work in your FJ60 (assuming it has a FF) but it will NOT work in your 40 unless your 40 has a FF.

 

[Landpimp]

got a pic of your rear axle hub? behind the hub cap cover? if its flat its a SF, it if sticks out its a FF........its good to know what ya got

it should looks something like this.

would be cool if it has a FF

no if a FF RD02 it will only fit the front of the 77.

I don't know the difference between a SF and FF

now, how are the RD02's in a SF ??

then its a SF

 

[Landpimp]

for not knowing you need to give me one of the cruisers

someone care to give a simple explanation? I suck at explaining.

ah hell I'll try. A SF(semi flaoter) carries all the weight and load on the axle shaft/bearings and if the shaft breaks the axle can come out of the axle tube.....not fun, but SF cruiser axles seldom break. To remove a rear axle shaft you must take the cover off the rear diff and take a C-clip out then remove the shafts.

A FF(full floater) carries the weight and load on the axle tube not the axle shaft, baiscly its like the front end of a Cruiser. If a FF shaft brakes it will not slide out of the tube. To remove the shaft on a FF....just unbolt the rear hub and slide the shaft out, no c-clip in the diff. Also a FF diff has no cover on it like a SF.

hope that makes sense. .....and its prolly not 100% correct

FF= cool and safety factor, also can run OEM diff lock.

that said I have a FF in my 45, it came that way, I would not bother to do it again.

the RD02 will NOT go in a SF
