ARB Locker Review

My friend Octavio Bought gears and ARB locker for a FJ62 from Randys Ring and pinion Gears after installing the plumbing took it out for a trail ride with Nicapwr Off Road Club. The front ARB locker failed and broke. Then he replaced it with a Detroit Locker. After two months took the FJ62 to Pismo Beach California and the rear locker also failed. Now having no locker in rear contacted Randys and said that they could not help him, sent locker to ARB they would not help. Received all parts back (two lockers and 4.88 Gears) Noticed that he could rebuild one locker from the two. Put all parts together and noticed that whom ever put this locker together gathered old parts. Contacted ARB and they sent me a rebuild kit with bolts, lines, seals. Great gift. My feelings are that these lockers were sold to him as new but in fact were put together just like he did from broken lockers. I don't recommend purchasing from that organization. Four wheel Parts have an excellent warranty on parts and gears. If you break them you bring them back and get replacement. No questions asked. I also have lockers on my 3 other Land Cruisers and will not be installing an ARB until further testing is done.
