Ive seen Jimnybits have added kaiser lockers, which sound like a sweet (but double the £) alternative to a Lockright, and better value than an ARB. Ive had a bit of a search and cant find anything much about them apart from praise.

Cheaper by £56 and you need no compressor or wiring etc....It's like a slightly better lock-right...but you can't blow your tyres up without a compressor..
Sounds promising but the description of how it works doesn't make sense. They say it doesn't lock when cornering, but does lock if one driveshaft is spinning faster than the ring gear, which happens every time you go around a corner. That is the main issue with a lockright. If need to see a picture of the inner workings before throwing that much money at it. But not needing to pump air at 100psi into the diff is a big bonus!
Not that air into diff thing again. The axles are vented. So why even consider this a problem?
Also. ARB lockers are used world wide in all sorts of vehicles. From overlanding and greenlaning to rockcrawling and desertracing. And yes, anything can be broken. But ARB's are often stronger built than standard diffs. Just look at the Jimny front diff compared to an ARB locker.
One more thing. That price.. Makes it even less attractive.
