Description

Unstoppable Traction: Eliminate wheel spin instantly. The ARB Air Locker locks your axles together to provide total power delivery to both wheels, ensuring your 4th Gen Tacoma maintains momentum through deep mud, loose shale, and technical rock crawls.

On-Demand Dashboard Control: Command your drivetrain from the cockpit. With a simple flick of a dash-mounted switch, you can engage the pneumatic locking mechanism at any speed, allowing you to proactively tackle obstacles without ever leaving your seat.

Ultra-Durable Two-Piece Build: Engineered for the world's most grueling off-road competitions, this locker features a high-strength, two-piece design and forged internal gears, making it the strongest and most reliable locking differential on the market.

Extreme-Climate Resilience: Equipped with a steel-reinforced, elastomer-bonded annular seal, the RD271 is built to perform in the most brutal thermal cycles—from sub-zero alpine winters to the blistering heat of the desert floor.

Zero Compromise Drivability: When disengaged, the locker operates as a standard open differential, preserving your Tacoma’s smooth on-road handling and preventing unnecessary driveline wear during your daily commute.
