Default Anybody got info on the Yukon Zip air lockers?

Anybody have nay info on these? I stumbled upon them and they look to be a more affordable version of the ARB style air lockers? what say you all?

Here's a link where I found em....they make em for Dana 30, 27 spline and Dana 44, 30 spline. Sounds perfect, no?

its a 7 minute vid but shows a destructive test between arb and the yukon zip.

this video is why i have mine locked wth arb front and rear

before people start wth the marketing bs for arb, yes arb conducyted the test. but arb has been around for some time now and very tried and true. the only problems i hear of using arb were the compresors and that issue seems to be rectified now.. for the money saved, it would not be worth iot to me just for $100 savings. ill stick with the arb

u can use goodle to search for the zip locker. i know yukon is a very good brand, but IMO i would wait a year or so. this is a new product. look at how many times manufacturesr change, modify, and upgrade products after they have been on market for a bit. i would wait and let the kinks get worked out first, cause u know there will be, its just like any first line product. they are not perfect

Don't know if it's true or not, but a local 4x4 shop told me that Yukon licensed an older ARB design for the Zip locker.

if that was the case if found true, then there is a reason why arb got rid of that design and moved on to a better design
