So I have decided to regear my JLU Sport from the factory 3.45 to 4.56. I'm figuring since that's all being opened up, I might as well hook it up with some lockers. I have seen air lockers but I am wanting elockers. Has anyone done this yet or able to point me in the right direction? Again this is for a Sport S with M186 front and M200 rear axles

Thanks

There’s a good chance you’re going to be one of the first. If you go this route please keep us updated because I’ve been having these same thoughts. Good luck!

I have been doing research into if the Rubicon lockers will work in the sports with the optional dana 44 M220. Since ALL are 32 spline. Should work if the shafts are equal length.

However, since you have the 200mm you will probably have to pass on an E-locker if you want it anytime soon. I have heard that ARB will have the 186mm and 200mm air locker available by the end of this month. Which sucks for those of us with the m220!

I have been waiting to re-gear until a locker is available...not looking like anytime soon.

I took the dive and got the ARB RD100 air locker for the front for now, rear will have to come later. Locker and compressor have already arrived and now I am waiting for the gear overhaul kits and tazer programmer to arrive by Sunday. Sooooo, hopefully she'll be upgraded before next weekend!

Very interested in how this turns out. It is on the list for this winter for my Sahara.

Awesome! I mounted the compressor under the passenger seat.

Actually just talked to ARB yesterday and they told me they WILL have a 32 spline for people with sports and the m220. So that’s great to hear.

I have the compressor I bought for my 4Runner before I bought the JL. I will be waiting for the rear locker to come out and do a package deal I think. Thank you for the links. I appreciate you taking the time to post this.

Gears have been swapped and air locker installed. Shop said it was a routine install now I just need to get passed the break in period and get it out on the highway and on some rocks to really see the difference!

Stupid question. I’m new to the air locker world. But I have This VIAIR constant duty kit and wonder if it work with an air locker so I don’t have to buy the whole locker kit with compressor.
