Lockers and axles
Currently on my 110 have a Salisbury rear axle with detroit locker and front detroit tru-trac.
Building an 130 next and not sure if I'll just use the axles from the 110 or go with air lockers and stick with the Rover short nose P38 style rear axle.
Thinking of air lockers as I'll have on board air in any case for the suspension and think the selectable lockers would have better road manners as even though don't have any issues with them, can still feel the rear locker and front atb on the road.
Being able to manually select the lockers makes greenlaning abit more fun too as even though its amazing offroad, the 110 with the detroits kinda makes things abit too easy at times.
Whats considered the better reae axle?
Salisbury or late 130 Rover axle.
Could add bracing easily to the rover axle too if an advantage and obviously its a much easier axle to maintain.
