The following is the email they sent everyone who posted up on the Blog. Basically the blog was the test run to see if they should try a pre-order. Now its time for people to put up or shut up.

COME ON ALL YOU ASKED AND BAGGED. PUT 30% DOWN ON A CC. SAVE UP AND PAY THE REST ON CC AT THE END OF THE MONTH. THEN YOU HAVE 6 MONTHS TO PAY IT OFF BEFORE IT ARRIVES AND HUNT FOR A M205.




Thank you for your Input on the blog last week,
Being that we had near the required number of positive and eager
responses in the blog over the last 2 weeks, I have decided to push
forward with the
M205 ARB Locker Project.
Here's the Latest:

ARB has made it clear that this locker may get made in the future
regardless but the only way this project will jump in priority will be
to put an order in for preferably 50 lockers. Even at 40 lockers this
project would be ahead full steam and we can have these on your doorstep
by Christmas 2013. And although this approach isn't what I was hoping
for, I really want to get this project moving being that we've been
kicking this around for a few YEARS.

From the date that the order for 40 lockers is placed, ARB can engineer
and have a final production run made in Australia within 15 weeks (~4
Months). From there they are shipped from Australia to the US which
takes about 8 weeks.

So here's what were going to have to do, continue to spread the word on
this blog and everyone that has responded will be contacted via e-mail
in a few weeks to be notified of the pre-order/deposit. Anyone that
wants to put a deposit down may do so online
(https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/niss...y-arb-m205-2004-preorder-deposit-p-57977.html)
or by phone by June 1st, 2013. We will have to take a 30% deposit on the
lockers based on the price of $1040.86. The order will be placed with
ARB on June 3rd which would put the Lockers in our hands in late
November/early December.

ARB will only be making a maximum of about 50 lockers in the first batch
and based on how fast these sell, ARB will be making decisions on
continuing to produce this product. This potentially, but doubtfully,
could be the only batch of this product that ARB produces. It's highly
recommended that if you want an ARB locker, that you make a deposit for
this first batch by June 1st.

Please spread the word, & thank you for you interest in the M205 Titan
front ARB Locker.

The Nissan Titan front (M205) ARB Air Locker project is on it's way! Huge thanks to everyone that has put in their deposit to make this happen. Expected delivery is the end of November 2013. ARB will be making a run of 50 lockers and over 30 are spoken for, If you want to ensure that you get one of these lockers and you haven't put your deposit in yet, you may do so as long as the following link is still active: https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/niss...y-arb-m205-2004-preorder-deposit-p-57977.html

The Nissan Titan front (M205) ARB air locker project is well under way now! Rugged Rocks is the exclusive ARB dealer for this locker which now has a part number of RD224. Time wise, ARB is making good progress and things are moving along right on track for landing here in the U.S. in Late November 2013. The majority of these lockers are already spoken for so I strongly recommend that anyone interested in one should at least put a deposit on one here: https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-titan-front-air-locker-by-arb-m205-2004-preorder-deposit-p-57977.html or call 909-547-4651

So, some really awesome news!


I went up to ARB (Seattle, WA) last month to install the first M205 locker with the guys in the tech dept.
It was nice to meet the people face to face that I've worked with to over the years including making this project come to life.


Here are a few pictures from the install:



The install went really well and the 'Go' button was pushed on production right away.
The lockers have been made, have left Australia, and are on the way to ARB North America. They are due in, in late December. I do realize this is a few weeks later than anticipated however it was my fault for wanting to do an install at ARB North America before putting everything into production and luck had it that it was when ARB had a crazy schedule prepping cars for the SEMA Auto Show.


If you have put a deposit down on your locker, it is due by the time the ship docks from Australia in Seattle, WA.
Please feel free to call me with the remainder of your payment at 909-547-4651.
I will start making calls to those that have put deposits in, but if you guys can call me, it will make things a little easier.


If you have not put a deposit in and you wish to purchase a locker, you can now only pay in full.
You can do it online here: https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-titan-a60-air-locker-by-arb-2005-front-m205-p-57997.html or call me at 909-547-4651


It's really good to see this project finally wrapping up after all these years of talking about it, and a huge thanks goes out to everyone that stepped up with deposits early in the project.

Are you saying that the remainder of the payment if we paid the deposit already is due by the time the ship hits the Dock? if so when is this. My schedule is pretty crazy so I just want to make sure I pay you in time.

Since I don't feel like starting a new thread about this it is going here. Somehow I lost the installation book I swear I had it. Well the locker is installed. My question is about this Solenoid.
images.ashx


Which side does the input air go on? 1 or 2? and does someone have the simple wiring diagram for wiring this up. I know its only two wires does it matter which way I wire it up?

Port 1 is the input from the compressor. Your air line to the locker screws into port 2.

Did you get no kind of harness w/ yours?

I got a switch and that solenoid as far as I can find. I did have a big move so I might of lost something along the way.

That's all I had in mine too. Both lockers only came with solenoid and switch.

Prime... did you get the ARB compressor as well?

That is why, I started to tear through half full boxes of moving crap. Yeah I went with the co2 tank method.

So on a solenoid does it matter which way you hook up the current?

Come to think of it, yes. And that had the loom.

Coo, thanks.

I'm installing my lockers as I type but I'm about a few days away from OBA and wiring installation. If they were missing from the locker kits, it wouldn't be the first (or tenth) time that I've received aftermarket stuff that was missing useful parts.

Polarity shouldn't matter since the electromagnet in the solenoid is charged by the current in the coil. The system should automaticly "fix" itself each time the polarity is reversed. I've seen some types of solenoids with marked leads but I'm not sure why they did it.
