Finally an ARB Air Locker Available for Your Late Model Ford F150

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ford 9 3/4″ 34 Spline ARB Air Locker RD150

Seattle, WA – Until now, users of the popular 34-spline Ford 9 3/4″ axle were limited to conventional differential choices. A compromise in performance, traction and handling was simply unavoidable. Fortunately, ARB has responded to the problem and now offers a solution that provides drivers with the best of both worlds. The newest Air Locker to emerge from ARB’s innovative engineering department may also be one of the company’s most highly anticipated model.

ARB’s patented 2-piece case design is manufactured from heavy cross sectioned nodular iron casting for virtually unbreakable strength. As with all of ARB’s Performance Air Lockers, the RD150 features ARB’s patented Time Gear Technology, which offers the highest locking strength while maintaining split-second unlocking ability. Internally, a steel reinforced, bonded seal has been designed to handle the most extreme climactic temperatures on earth complementing the competition bred strength of the locker.

Well aware of the demands necessitated by this competitive market, the Air Locker engineering department utilized the very latest CAD, CAM, parametric solid modeling systems, and finite element analysis packages when developing the RD150 Air Locker. This technology enabled Air Locker engineers to test a computer generated model in an unlimited number of virtual environments before the final product was developed. The results of ARB’s comprehensive development program are impressive to say the least.

With more than 6 million Ford 9 3/4″ axles on the streets in a variety of models, most notably the Ford F150, this locker is anticipated to be in demand. Pre orders are currently being accepted.

Clover Springs and Little Bald Mountain Backroads Tour – 06.09.07

After nearly a year of lurking on the Backroad Drivers Northwest group mail list, last Saturday (June 9, 2007), I was finally able to attend one of the organized gatherings of the group.

The planned destination was the Clover Springs and Little Bald Mountain areas off SR 410, near Cliffdell, Washington. I had been to this area before, during the 2005 Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association (PNW4WDA) annual trail jamboree, but never from the direction we were coming in from. Also, this time of year, there was bound to be snow, which places a whole new twist on the adventure.
