Eaton/Harrop E-lockers from Australia

[murf]

Over the last couple of years Ive been working with a couple of great guys in Ward Harris WardHarris (Terrain Tamer 4WD) and Georg Orangefj45 (Valley Hybrids) which have joined together to form Cruiser Brothers / Yota Lockers.

They are now importing and stocking the Eaton/Harrop E-lockers that are popular in AU. The Terrain Tamer suspension systems are on their way as well. For the price of an air locker, you can get a switchable E-Locker for your Toyota 4X4.

They know there has been interest in aftermarket electronic "throw the switch" Elockers and would like to see if anyone in AZ is interested in getting one. They are looking to get some exposure on this product and will be offering a discount for the first person through the forum. We can do the first introductory install at a reduced price of $1795 + Tax for 80/100/200 rears. initial front: $1945. PM for details.

Tempting. What is the regular price? Are these considerably better than the ARB? What is the price for just the locker and install kit? If I did this I would probably have pro gear do the install as they are local to me.

SDN, I've never tried this but the reviews are good and Eaton is a quality product. I would suggest clicking on the cruiser brother's /Yoda lockers Link in the first post where you can see pricing if you want to buy them yourself. Feel free to contact Ward Harris himself for more info, he's happy to discuss any product questions.

Good deal for right person for sure, I had probably better hold off for now.

Tempting for sure.

Let me see if I am getting this right. For $1,795 (plus tax) CBT will install the electronic rear locker, and $1,945 (plus tax) for the front locker? By my calculations that is $600 for the rear installation labor and $750 for the front. Is there a discount if both are done at the same time? Forgive my ignorance, but about how much of a discount is the $1,795 or $1,945 off of the regular price?

 

[murf]

Sorry but there is no discount if done at the same time since: A) there isn't any overlap and B) we are already skinny on both parts and labor on this offer. After the initial offer it will go up approx. $300 per axle.

No love for a 60?

I may have to jump the gun and beat @brices123 to the 100 series offer. So very tempting

We installed 2 so far and they are everything expected and more. Really like that we can use the Toyota factory locker dial switch to activate for that OE look.

Murf! We LOVE THIS LOCKER! Both Cody and I are amazed by the ease and functionality of the Eaton E-Locker. CBT installed rear one's for both our 80's. The rear EATON E-Locker was finally tested at Lake Saguaro (The Rolls). What a HUGE difference! The one advantage of this locker is no servo and instant locking capabilities. No matter what angle you're in, or what situation you're in, you turn the Toyota factory dial and it locks instantly. It actually locks before the dial is completely turned. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun, especially after attacking majority of those nasty rolls at Lake Saguaro. To unlock, turn the dial and wah-la! No need to move forward or backwards to lock/unlock these lockers. If you're looking for an aftermarket e-locker for your 80 with instant locking capabilities, I would consider the Eaton E-locker. One simple cable running directly to the dial, and that's it! No, there is no indicator to tell you that you're locked and no relay that "clicks". But when your rear slips and you turn the dial and continue on with ease, you know it's working. I was not planning on a front locker so I settled for the 100 series rear locker dial switch. So simple to use! Truck used is a 97 LX450 OME2861/2862 springs with Bilstein HD's and 30mm front spacers and no rear swaybar, 285/75/16 BFG's. Cody and I will be posting another message after our trip this weekend. Thank you Murf and to the entire CBT team!

So awesome! I really want to a rear locker and hoping the tax man has good news soon to be able to help.

 

[brices123]

@murf. What is the current price for a rear 100 series?

@murf. What is the current price for a rear 100 series?

The intro discount I received for the first unit from supplier has been used. Still comparable to an ARB @ $1945 + tax Mr. Brice
