how about detroitlocker and 24 spline foe rear 2a 109 anybody have any exp?

Hmm.
Methinks Greg was asking for opinions from folks with experience of the different drive line options.
At the end of the day, it all depends on the terrain and the amount of lead in the right foot.

I replaced my ARB which fell apart due to SPOT install error and decided to go with the Trutak. I'm actually much happier with the Trutrak because I don't have to make a decision whether I need it or not and there's no more air line to worry about.

which is why it is very important to have anything installed properly.

although I have a high respect for Bill @ GBR, pretty sure there are also a few options in the ME area to have the install done if necessary.

again, having the option or decision to engage a traction aid for me is an advantage, yet, as Les mentions, it all boils down to the driver plus terrain.

Let me just highlight the SPOT error... Whoever installed the original ARB had used a spacer ring behind the ring gear instead of the thicker ring gear which removes the need for a spacer. Everything was probably bolted up and in perfect spec when the thing was put together but eventually that spacer ring gave way for movement and in the long run the ring gear came loose and chewed up the works in the matter of just a few miles. I had no idea about any of this until I had the break.

Just wanted to let folks know that using a spacer ring is what I'd consider the SPOT in this case. Bolting it together and leaving things out of spec would be too but the former is harder to avoid if you don't know about it.

i've got a trutrac, just the 10 spline, and used a spacer. i was saving the bucks when i did my build. i used the long bolts for the ring plus spacer and got about 3000 miles on it. some of 'em pretty hard miles. i'll be pulling it this spring to put it on the front and a detroit w/24 splines are going on the rear

thanks for all the input, will be getting the arb with 24 spline just want the option of turning it on when needed, our mechanic recommended this set up also, he custom builds defenders and series and this is all he installs,merry christmas and happy new year to all.
