Oh really?
This is good news. How sure are you?

I've got a 2007 Rodeo and spoke with some from Eaton Australia last year about their e lockers. They told me they didn't have one available then but they would by the middle of this year.

I haven't followed this up as I can't afford one at the moment.

Your cars not just sold here, the diff is not local and exclusive to Australia.
did you take the time to read the information on the links including what was in the usa arb airlocker catalogue?
every other brand including copies, the choices are world wide and you are now not restricted to local pricing. this has to give you more scope into what price range you can afford as its the same as the American trooper and amigo

once you Google part numbers the various vehicles you find they share the same diffs. this means they share the same parts. Manufactures are lazy they don't re invent the wheel unless they have too. Therefore the same dif gets used in many cars all over the world , sometimes the front diff, some times the rear. Read the links and see your self.

HARROP | 4wd



PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


The ELocker’s electromagnetic locking mechanism is the latest generation of aftermarket differential technology. Performs as an open differential until you decide that you need more traction. Harrop / Eaton ELocker are your push button solution to almost any traction problem.


Designed expressly for 4-wheel drive systems to give you the ability to lock or unlock the differentials when necessary. When locked the Harrop / Eaton ELocker performs as a full locker, capturing 100% of available torque and sending it equally to both ends of the axle.


The ELocker is built with precision-forged gears that are designed to mesh perfectly, providing improved strength and durability over a standard cut gear. Its ease of installation, reliability and push-button activation make ELocker an absolute must for all traction and off-road performance applications.

Product Code: 99-ELKR11556

Hi
Just googling and found your post on the elockers, Just be careful as I tried my luck and ordered one from the states for the rear of my RG Colorado but it didn't fit. They are AAM 860 rear and AAM 760 front the rear didn't fit because ours is a banjo and the US version is a salsbury with the rear cover. As for Harrops I believe they have modified it to fit the Oz version.
In saying that the front one from the US may fit as I think it's the same as ours.

Following those links for the arb page they list different part numbers for usa colorado and aus colorado? Are you sure they are the same? I would love a auto locker for the rear of my 08 collie

I used Summit racing for my (don't laugh) Great Wall, way back in 2011. They were of great help, and did measurements for me so make sure that my 8" Toyota rear style diff would fit the auto locker I wanted. It is a case of not just accepting everything is the same because the name is the same, but helpful people in Australia will provide you with sufficient info to make inquiries overseas. I used the Diff Doctor (lives in Hallam) to help me out. As a result, I got the genuine article (Detroit) and it fitted first go. I think you all know my opinion of Harrop quality and his helpful advice.
