yeah thanks for all the info guys.. i agree i already have a front electric locker.. so i figured a rear electric locker would be nice... i didn't really want to have to run air.. but guess ill have to look into the arb also.

There are some similarities but the GKN built factory JK Rubicon Locker is stronger than an Eaton ELocker.

Yes, it is a limited slip but it is gear driven (no clutches to wear out) and works very well. It's not a locker but you'd be shocked at how much extra traction it provides.

For my usage/needs, the TT is still my favorite traction device.

A fraction of the price, and performs great for the 99.8% of the time that you don't actually have tires in the air and need a locker. ARB's do have the coolness factor, though.
