The ARB rear locker (along with the air compressor) for my D40 Navara has been ordered and is now on its way. Anyone else have this already installed and operational?

Here it is. I'm trying the copy/paste link on my phone. Hope it works.

Thanks for that. I'll let you know how it goes. It'll go in this rig:

Needless to say I won't be doing it myself. I'll be handing it over to a mechanic to do it, but I hope to be there every step of the way.
Btw, it's a (TDI) Navara, not a Frontier. Same thing except for the diesel engine...

...so in preparation for the installation of the ARB locker, I looked once again at the ARB application guide. Turns out that in the last couple of weeks, ARB has come out with a second rear locker for the D40 Navara. I should have ordered the RD159 piece for the Thailand-assembled Navara, rather than the RD149 piece for the Spain-assembled Navara. The problem was than when I ordered, the ARB application guide listed only one locker for the D40 with no distinction for country of origin.

Yes, both for the M226. I, too, wondered which one fits the U.S. Frontier. All it takes to find out is to open the diff and take a look. This is what I will be doing in order to make sure that I indeed have the wrong application before returning it.
