Product Description

The ARB RD100 Air Locker differential is a high‑performance locking differential designed for Jeep Wrangler vehicles equipped with a front Dana 30 axle and 27‑spline shafts with 3.73 and higher gear ratios. This differential allows the driver to instantly lock both front wheels together at the push of a switch, providing maximum traction when traversing difficult terrain while maintaining smooth, conventional differential action when unlocked for everyday driving.

Pneumatically actuated from a dash‑mounted switch, the ARB Air Locker’s patented timed locking mechanism offers both strength and rapid response without sacrificing drivability. The rugged, two‑piece design minimizes moving parts for improved reliability and durability in harsh environments. Complete with a switch, solenoid, air line, and bulkhead fitting, this differential is ready to integrate with your vehicle’s onboard air system (air compressor required, sold separately). Ideal for off‑road enthusiasts and trail drivers, the RD100 enhances traction control and confidence on challenging surfaces while preserving on‑road handling characteristics.
