Lockers for Range Rovers?

[lexwoody]

Is there any lockers available besides the factory one for the current RR?

No

Kevin is correct. None of the current Rovers (LR3/LR2/RRS/RR) have aftermarket lockers available. However, with center locking diffs and an amazing traction control system, there isn't a compelling need for lockers on these platforms.

while the electronic traction control systems are very advanced, a frt, center, and rear locked Rover will be able to go over more difficult obstacles and in a more controllable manner than one with just ETC and a rear locker.

again, the new ETC systems are very good, yet, a totally locked Rover is just awesome.

unfortunately, those with the newer Rover products will not be able to experience this capability.

Thanks for the feed back. What year did LR start putting electric lockers on RR? I know very rare to find but they are out there.

I believe it was around 2004-2005

i thought that was only the LR3...

I'm not sure about the full size Range Rover. The current style of RR (called the MkIII) came out in 2003.

The LR3 and RRS (Range Rover Sport), share the same platform, and both had a rear locker available from the beginning: 2005. It's part of the rare HD package.

To be completely accurate, it is not actually a "locker" as most may be familiar with them. It is an electronically actuated, variable limited slip that has the ability to "lock" completely if the traction control computer decides it is necessary. There is no "lock" button or switch. The differential progressively locks as needed in cooperation with the traction control to transfer power between the rear wheels.

Found it out. It was 2008 they start installing in RR.
