What are the options to Discovery axles? ARB air locker or open diff? Anything else?

Detroit locker, trutrac and ARB are the common ones. Then there's the infamous Lincoln Locker:D

It should be noted that if you don't beef the axles up with a locker you will eat axles.

Depends on your driving style. If Randy will sell me one of his once I have a job again I'll find out what happens to stock 90 axles.

You will be fairly safe with an ARB and stock axels with a reasonable tire size.

I didn't blow a 175k mile cv with my 34's and 4.10 gearing until I had the wheels spinning at a sharp angle and didn't realise the locker wasn't working. Prior to that I had run 32's and 33's with stock gearing and still no failures. Rear axle broke with a Detroit, but I fitted GBR half shafts when I did the ARB air locker.
I have installed GBR axles on many customer's Rover and have never had a failure.
Front cv's and half shafts are from CV's Unlimited in the carolinas.

I love my ARB rear locker, works like a charm, did upgrade to GBR axles
