Heavy Duty Air Compressor for ARB Air Lockers


There are truly only a few accessories that are able to give off road warriors as many advantages as having on board air that is readily available.  In fact, on board air is considered to be a must have item for many off road warriors all around the world.  This goes for both off and on road travel.  When you have one of the heavy duty air compressors for ARB air lockers that are made by ARB 4 x 4 Accessories, you will have the ability to have the air you need anytime you are near a power source that is 12 or 24 Volts.

We all know that your tires will give you the best performance when they are at the proper PSI for a given terrain.  When you are on the highway, this means that they need a high pressure.  Being on the trails or crawling over rocks calls for lower air pressure levels so that you get the traction that you need.  Having a source of compressed air in your rig that is readily available gives you the freedom that comes with being able to adjust the rate of air pressure in your tires regardless of where you are.

Another benefit of having on board air is that you will have the ability to add air to your tires that may have been repaired.  When you are traversing harsh terrains, it is not an unusual thing to have your tires punctured multiple times in a single day.  In situations like this, having a source of on board compressed air is absolutely priceless.   Couple this air compressor with the many tire repair accessories that ARB makes and you will be able to travel the trails with peace of mind as well as with independence.

ARB 4 x 4 Accessories: Dana 44 Air Locking Differential


The Dana 44 air locking differential that is made by ARB 4 x 4 Accessories has been designed to be able to give you traction on demand while you don’t have to sacrifice the highway performance of your rig.  These locking differentials use an ARB air compressor of 12 volts that has been designed specifically to activate and then deactivate the solid and quite durable locking mechanism that is located inside the differential itself.  This is what gives you that traction that you so desperately need right when you need it most, just by flipping a switch.  You can even do this without even leaving the driver’s seat.  

Features at a Glance

  • The Dana 44 air locking differential comes to you complete with a 5 year warranty
  • Installation and even maintenance is incredibly easy.  You don’t need any sort of special tools, additives or even skills
  • The Dana 44 air locking differential has applications for both 2 and 4 WD vehicles
  • These air lockers are available for both the front and the rear for many makes and models
  • The design of the Dana 44 air locking differential is one that has been thoroughly tested and has been proven time and time again.  This is the design that is not just used but is also trusted in more than 80 countries across the globe
  • The design of this locking differential is unbelievably simple yet highly effective.  It uses only a few moving components which means that the reliability you get is amazing
  • The Dana 44 air locking differential is incredibly durable and amazingly strong because of the fact that only materials of the highest quality are used to make it
  • The operation of the locking differential is convenient and easy and it will allow for the user to be able to concentrate more on the terrain he is driving through without the necessity of stopping to get out and activate the differential
  • With this locking differential, your traction is vastly improved.  This means that the traction will not be as reliant on the momentum which in turn means that the chances of damage to your rig as well as impact on the environment is reduced
  • With this particular locking differential, you will get 100% traction as soon as you need it.  This will not have any sort of effect on the wear of the driveline or on the ride quality while on the highway

Most people tend to think that a 4 WD vehicle and traction go together like eggs and bacon.  You can’t really enjoy one without having the other.  That said, the open differential that your rig came with was actually designed to allow for each of the wheels to turn independently from the others.  This works to eliminate any sort of binding when you turn.  However, this creates an issue when you are off road because the power from the engine will follow the path that offers the least amount of resistance – which means it will go right to the wheel that has the least amount of traction.  This is why you need the Dana 44 air locking differential – to get the traction to all of the wheels.
