Re: RUBICON 2021
That sucks things didn't go as planned. Glad you guys made the most of it though and certainly still a memorable trip.
I'm curious what happened to Jeff's ARB.

Re: RUBICON 2021
If it means anything I havent had any issues with my arb's. the front has been there since the late 80's. But i do actuate them regularly(probably monthly) as i drive through the neighborhood.
Also what air pressure are you feeding the lockers? They are designed to operate at no more than 95psi. I had to add a regulator to my system that feeds the lockers.

Re: RUBICON 2021
Sometimes the biggest issue with the Arb’s are with the compression fitting on the 3rd member, some of the versions have a brass line that likes to back off the fitting that attaches the blue airline and the only way to fix it is to pull the third member. You can convert it to a better flare setup and/or -2an braided line as well which is nice. Not sure if it’s the problem or you have the side seal issue.
I haven’t had any issues with mine with the exception of my ring gear bolts backing out and cutting the air line on holy cross.
The last time I checked I believe those seals are rated to 150 psi but 95-100 is the required amount for full engagement, but I could be mistaken.

Re: RUBICON 2021
Looking forward to seeing some pictures! I too am sorry you guys didn't get to run the Rubicon, but it'll be there for a while longer...
ARB's seem to be very finicky. Sorry you too had trouble with them Jeff.

Re: RUBICON 2021
Recently I've had several that the seals for the main body of the ARB have been faulty and two that had primary case cracks. Make sure you examine them closely.

Re: RUBICON 2021
Here are some pics Mike posted on my FB page. Hope he doesn't mind.
I only took a few and they didn't turn out.
We were so involved with broken ujoints and ARBs I don't think anyone else took any.

Re: RUBICON 2021
Cleaning out the camera. Not on the Rubicon, but still a good shot.
