The Terrain Tamer Differential Locking Kit includes all required bearings and gaskets plus the Australian made Harrop Eaton ELocker.

The Harrop Eaton ELocker is an electromagnetic locking differential, requiring no compressor or air lines, that is manually engaged with an on/off switch by the driver. Internally, the patented Eaton gears are forged and feature a strong 4 pinion design. The Harrop Eaton ELocker has a simple 'drop in' fitting process and allows the front and rear axles-lock independently.

• Made in Australia
• Manually Selected
• Electronically Activated
  
  

What is an ELocker and how does it work?
The Harrop Eaton ELockers sold by Terrain Tamer as a kit, with all required side bearings, are reliable electronic, selectable differentials, featuring electromagnetic locking technology and a 4 pinion, forged gear design for added strength, intended for 4WD drivers who require traction on demand.

When unlocked, an ELocker performs as an open differential, transferring extra power to the wheel with the least resistance, and the wheels can rotate at different speeds.

However, when the driver needs instant traction, they are able to simply flick a switch, activating the electromagnet, which pushes the locking pins into position in the back of the side gear and the differential is locked, capturing 100% of available torque, distributing it equally to both ends of the axle regardless of the difference in traction, and forcing the wheels to rotate at the same speed.

An open differential is required for general road usage, as an outside tire travels further than the inside wheel during cornering, however when a driver is in a low traction situation such trying to power through mud or climb over a boulder and only one tire is actually receiving power, a locker is often required.

What are the advantaged of an ELocker over an Air Locker?
ELockers use an electronic in-dash switch to control a set of magnets that causes a roller cams to engage pins that push into the side gear, locking the differential.

This is the prime advantage of an eLocker – it doesn’t require an outside source of power besides the standard 12-volt, and does not require an on-board air compressor to operate, as air lockers do.

This makes ELockers significantly more reliable and is why they are the preferred option for many 4WD owners.

How do you activate an ELocker?
ELockers are activated by a dash or console mounted switch. Any suitable 12VDC switch will work, however the required wiring harness with a relay switch, chassis electrical system protecting diode, and the fuse is included with all Terrain Tamer ELocker Kits.

The Harrop Eaton ELocker is an open differential with electronically-controlled locking features and, while the design of the locking components differs between models and generations of designs, they all work by locking one of the side gears to the differential case.

When the ELocker is engaged via the dash switch, the electromagnetic mechanism fully locks, evenly sending 100% of the available torque to both wheels.

Can you engage an ELocker while driving?
Technically, an ELocker can be engaged while driving, however you need to pay attention that the wheel speed difference (between the right and left wheel) remains under 50 rpm. It's therefore recommended that a driver engages an ELocker only when the vehicle speed is below 5km/h.

While ELockers are intended to accommodate severe use, constant abuse and extreme speed engagement will significantly shorten the life of the ELocker and is not covered under warranty.

When the ELocker is engaged, it instantly attempts to lock and match wheel speeds, and as a result, the differential must immediately accelerate the slow speed wheel, axle shaft, and brake component mass to the same speed as the free-spinning wheel.

This is not only harsh on the differential; it is also incredibly harsh on the axle shaft.

Terrain Tamer Long awaited parabolic spring kit, will ship approx. 1 week from your order due to popular demand, be quick.

These springs are suited for a 50mm lift, and 0–500KG weight capacity, this is the only option currently available for 60 Series Landcruisers.

Traditional 4WD leaf springs are often thick, heavy, uncomfortable and loud, offering little to no flex. In response to this Terrain Tamer developed their 4WD Parabolic Leaf Springs, applying a carefully researched design and modern technology to a well-established idea from the trucking industry.

Utilising new technology on an old design, the parabolic springs allow for a comfortable ride whether the vehicle is fully loaded or empty.

• Lighter – Less unsprung weight
• Less Shock – Less shock load on the differential gears
• Quieter – The leaves do not touch each other
• Comfortable – With better articulation
• Strong – Exceptional load-carrying capability

DON’T MISS OUT.

What is a parabolic spring? 
Parabolic Leaf Springs typically contain fewer leafs than traditional leaf packs and get their name from their tapered “parabolic” design, meaning they are thicker in the centre and thinner at the ends. Already a well-established idea in the trucking industry, Terrain Tamer have applied their own carefully researched design and modern technology, and use a special grade steel to develop their range of Parabolic Leaf Springs specifically for 4WD vehicles.

How do parabolic springs work?
Traditionally heavy linear leaf packs can also be uncomfortable and loud and can create a safety issue, as they offer little to no flex, meaning that when a driver hits a bump, or finds themselves in a rough offroad situation, the rigidity of the leaf pack will cause the opposite wheel will lift, spinning and losing traction, ceasing drive and effectively endangering the driver. In a Parabolic spring, the tapered design of each leaf allows the stress to be distributed more evenly across the spring, and each leaf is allowed to work independently with enhanced flex without sacrificing load capacity, and keeping all four wheels on the ground.

What are the advantages of parabolic springs? 
This design of Parabolic Springs eliminates the weight of often heavy, thick, traditional leaf packs and dramatically reducing the unsprung weight of the vehicle, essentially freeing up the weight needed for practical use. This lower unsprung weight addresses the issue of GVM limits, and also acts to create a more comfortable ride when the vehicle is unloaded, accommodating the varying and ever-changing applications that the modern day 4WD is used for, freeing up weight for towing heavy loads, carrying tools or touring with the family, and ensuring it is comfortable whether empty or loaded. The Parabolic shape also provides better axle articulation, as well as almost no interleaf friction, allowing the spring to compress or extend with ease without touching each other until there is a reasonable load on the vehicle. This feature means that the springs are not only quieter, but it also acts to help minimise any issues with rust build up, which can be a major cause of failure in standard leaf springs.

Do parabolic springs offer better flex?
The Parabolic design allows the spring to flex while still providing the strength needed to bear the weight of heavy loads. This is particularly useful in 4WD applications that carry excessive load on the driveline, or when challenged with difficult terrain, as the flex afforded with a Parabolic Spring lets it give a little when the driver hits a bump in the road, allowing the differential housing to rotate with the springs and effectively providing a smoother ride, reducing the shock transferred to the crown wheel and pinion, stopping the wheel from spinning and maintaining safety and drive. The same force with a standard leaf pack would almost certainly cause more shock to the vehicle and driver
