What he said.....

Without air pressure you can't lock them.

route the hose into your cab and have a buddy blow real hard.

Get a detroit.

Only if you have a full time transfercase and or full time front axle...

We actually run detroit in front, ARB in the rear on all of our rigs...the CJ has manual hubs.

Also, gotta love that you're calling someone a dumass...you didn't even know about your ARB...

Pussy.

I've driven my truck with the hubs locked in 80 MPH with the transfer case in 2wd and never even noticed my front locker.

I wouldn't even hesitate to have front drive flanges and a locker with a part time transfer case.

Yall just give in to the, "Selectable spool" crap. I love my automatic lockers and I certainly wouldn't trade them for some leaky, failure prone ARB.

Go write, "Are both tires spinning" on your forehead now and STFU.

That is all

I was calling him a dumbass becasue he didnt help me with my problem.. he told me to buy a detroit which is not a feasible or viable option since i spend so much on the arb...no constructive help or critcism in my book is a dumbass reguardless of how much he knows...

Thanx for all your ideas.. i ended up solviong the problem with a 7 gallon air tank, 50 foot flex hose and some NPT fittings

Wow, that just gets more original every time I hear it

You're powers are being wasted on this one board..... you need to branch out into the world so that everyone can enjoy your ability to ignorantly regurgitate witty catch phrases. Thank you for your time

and if you have figured out a way to put one in a 9" and a 44 you'd be a rich man

hornett22 · 10-03-2004, 07:32 PM

just having fun.that is a good idea though.i'll make a prototype tonight!

Hillbilly · 10-03-2004, 08:48 PM

i hear lots of people diss arb's on here, i also hera alot of people rave about them. i fall into the latter category. i love my arb. All of the problems i have seen of others were due to faulty installs. now i know you said the compressor failed, so the finger can't be pointed. i vote for the auxillary tank aswell. i use my just for that.

shankles43 · 10-03-2004, 09:08 PM

what pressure does it take to lock an arb?

crtbc · 10-04-2004, 07:15 AM

they generally lock at 30 psi if thats all you can get.. but its good to have a constant supply of 85 psi or so but not above 100psi

Would this qualify as a dumb ass comment???! I wouldnt know cause I am too much of a "webwheeler" but do you even notice a fron locker while maintaining speed on a straight path??? I think possibly you need to STFU you dont need to make these dumb fawk responses we allready know your a complete ass wipe! Why you goin 80 mph with your front hubs locked in anyway?? All I gotta say is I would like to nominate you for the "Darwin Award"
