TJM... I have ARB because the TJM's were back logged out so far they were unattainable and the ARB's came as a package deal with the gears. I would still prefer TJM lockers. I think they have a superior design that is easier to maintain.If you could be any brand / type of lockers in your 80 what would it be ?
ARB, Eaton, Factory etc ?
Sorry to tell you, but it looks like they're gone, possibly for good. Manufacturing issues.TJM ProLocker

what you are describing is a Kaiser. The Keiser is always locked until there is a rotational difference between the wheels on that axle and then allows the faster tuning wheel to match the speed of the slower turning wheel.My ideal locker for the 80 series doesn't exist. What I'd like is a selectable electronic locking rear diff that acts as a limited slip diff when unlocked, not open. Designs like this do exist for some other vehicles, see here for example:

Select-A-Loc Ltd Slip to Lock - Auburn Gear Aftermarket
LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL TO FULL-LOCK. Select-A-Loc™ locks the axle shafts to the diff housing to transfer torque directly from the case.auburngeardiffs.com
That's my ideal for the rear of the 80. In lieu of that, a Harrop elocker is my pick.

Looked into it, and it's not what I'm thinking of. That design seems like it'd have problems when turning, directing excessive torque to the wheel with the slower rotation. Basically, 100% of the torque goes to the slowest turning wheel, unless the wheels are turning at the same speed, in which case it's a 50/50 split. This increases the likelihood of wheel slip on tarmac. It also could be quite noisy/unpredictable, as torque slams back and forth from side to side.what you are describing is a Kaiser.
