You can sort of simulate a rear locker in a standard current jimny by gently applying the hand brake, which might have been enough to get you out of the snow that day ;-)

the only really practical option for a proper selectable locker is the ARB's at nearly £1000 a end, plus the compressor, switches, fitting, HD shafts, etc. I believe Yakuza has just fitted some of the chinese copy of the ARBs and is happy with them, but dont know how much cheaper they are.

Hi Riccy.

Someone, I believe on this forum, sawed his hand brake leaver right down the middle and one half operated the left rear brake and the other half the right rear brake. An excellent solution. He could operate both rear brakes together or individually.

Technology took its time to provide a solution which was extremely costly and very complex and yet does exactly the same job.

Have a search on 'fiddle' brakes. Its not exactly sawing the lever in two, but works in much the same way. Oldskool tractors have two brake pedals, one for each rear side, or both for a brown trouser stop :laugh:.

It would be possible to fit a second 'lever' near the handbrake that worked left to right to brake the rear wheels as desired. The handbrake cable splits about where the cup holder is to each side :whistle:

Three gear levers may confuse the MOT tester.

My MOT tester was confused by the button pressing to work the transfer box on my generation 3 Jimny.

Didn't want to test the rolling road braking in 4WD.

Yes I know there are little lights but he thought it might be was front wheel drive!

The Quaife ATB differential is supposed to work very well with these electronic brake traction systems. I remember reading about them when I got my diff. Seamless control and and less judder when in use, if I remember correctly.

Riccy, I remember jack using his hand brake to force a bit of traction across the axle, when we were climbing that goat trail in the lakes...
