I have been chasing factory e lockers for my lx470. Second hand they are still very expensive, if they ever come up. But I did find a supplier in china who sells them. Landed in Oz they work put to about 880aud each new. Only catch is I have to buy 10. Would these be reliable? Has anyone bought them? Would I be able to offload the other 8 at cost? Or am I better off waiting for second hand ones to show up?
 
Is it worth it when a Harrop is about $1500?
 
They are 1/2 that price, the electronics are on the outside and serviceable, they don't unlock when changing directions, or if there is power supply issues, so for me I'd rather them over harrop Eaton lockers.
 
The theoretical 'unlock' is abour 45 degrees of crown wheel location, and from what I've observed, only if there is no 'load' on the drivetrain - if you're in a technical situation offroad I'd say there would be enough torsional loading to keep the locker 'locked'

If you can sell the others, it makes sense, and potentially if you can't find a factory setup, others might be looking for them as well.
