new Yukon Zip locker?...Any feedback or opinions on this?
I personally tested one in my jeep for over a year with zero issues,
any links and i have never herd of themAll Ive heard is that they are basically an exact copy of ARB's 1st gen locker.
Idk... Why go to something else when you know the original has been improved, tested, and trusted?
Does your Zip Locker offer anything else besides the minimal price cut?

Do you have any side by side pictures (Zip and ARB), or list of comparison items showing your improvements to the internals? Do you have a list of your maximum tolerances? Do you have any strength test data?
Yes. We should have it up on the website soon. Waiting on our marketing department to release them.
One of the very important things ive learned in my short life:
You get what you pay for...
Coming from the guy trying to push his Zip Locker...Exactly. ARB's mark up is outrageous. That's all you are seeing.

Ill pay the $50.00 difference...
And why is it that R&P.com has a $50 markup on your Zip locker and they only have a $10 markup on the ARB unit? (Looking at wholesaler prices...)
Name, reputation, warranty, reliability, dependability,.... etc, etc.I'm simply showing other available options that are just as good, but more affordable. That's fine if you want to spend $50 more for the name. Everyone will have their own preferences.
