I would love to have some one day. save my pennies and buy maybe 1 per year.
maybe they will figure out a way to use the air tanks on board instead of their own air pumps and keep the cost down some for us.

All you would need are the solenoids to do it. A lot of the 4 wheeling crowd use their on board air systems to power their ARBs.

Solenoids? I think ganged air switches was mentioned for the Norwegian deuces... that would be SWEET!!

Exactly, I've got OBA on my Jeep TJ and all I did was use an inline regulator to lower the pressure to 80-90 or so. (I forget the actual pressure, whatever the manual recommended) Same principal would apply to my M35. Man, that will be sweet!

if you put one in the front it might not steer like it used to.
on wet OR dry

if it was unlocked it would steer normally.

WOAH I think they need a test mule....my box is off as we speak, still

 

[hot rod deuce]

now add one more lock switch for the Remco...

From what I've found the heavier the vehicle the less noticable the front locker's affect is on it. Sure, steering will be a bit heavier but the truck will more want to go where you want it to go. Larger tires will help too as they'll be less inclined to 'push' and more inclined to dig in that direction and drag the truck around the turn.
