Kaiser lockers? Anybody heard of them before?

Keith I've trasfer box you can have to experiment on. No lever or sensors but it's free if you want to open it up and play.

Keith likes to think outside of the (transfer)box.

I already got one from my other bezza mate Jack.... I've decided to do away with the kingpins on the front axle.....actually the whole axle barring the diff.....going to start the design and build of the axles next month....Design/Build thread to be started.

Gearcutting and engineering side sorted......just need to get a company to cast some steel steering hubs.....200hp shafts should be ok do you think?

Aiming to get the diff higher by 4" on standard tyres....should help with Landrover ruts!

I'll have to get over your way for a chat....just so busy at the moment James!

Thats one way to describe it!

Kaiser locker is made in Brasil,

and usually, people who have it, like it´s performance off road. However, it´s famous for making some noise when cornering.

Here, it´s almost 1/3rd of the price of an ARB wich could explain why many people prefer it here in Brasil.

regards,

At that price, it also makes a lot more sense to buy one.

Lockright 1510 is 200 USD, ARB with the compressor is around 1500 USD and tends to leak air just when you need it. I installed 1510 on my rear axle a year ago.
This is *by far* the best improvement for my jimny. Perhaps because mine is A/T, i can barely notice its there.

Leak air..?? Sure if you didn't put a bit of care into it when installing the locker.

Do you have a faulty one for sale...or any images of the faulty one?

I'll bet you were cheesed off when it didn't engage....

It's usually the hoses which leak or a bad o ring. Nothing that can't be fixed but it's annoying. A year ago a mate with SJ413 and a leaking ARB almost made us all go deaf as his compressor kept pumping air during a climb. All the rest had automatic lockers and no one had any issues climbing that rocky hill (wish I had a video to share here)
For me, lockright is the right choice, it protects my car as I can tackle without too many efforts situations that my unlocked buddies needs to tackle with speed. And speed is bad when you hit something..

What is the difference between these Kaiser lockers and the Lockright ones?

From my brief look at them, are the Kaisers not also just a 'dog-clutch' like the Lockrights, so much of a muchness?

As i said in my earlier post they both use exactly the same principle and would operate in a very similar manner. I imagine this is easier to setup. From what I read, lots of people struggle to get lockrights set up correctly..
