lockable diffs

just wondering if any of you lot know of a 4x4 offroader that has lockable diffs but NOT in live axles? I need 3 lockable diffs to use with a dedion system.

Cheers!

Unless I'm very wrong, lockable diffs usually means actual proper off roaders and they usually have live axles.

Could be wrong of course.

What about the aftermarket locker people ?
Detroit and ARB for a start both make lockers for the modern soft roaders
which mostly run IRS and hence separate diffs.
Not a Locost option though

I seem to recall that early Audi Quattros had lockable diffs.
Think they used vacuum lines to control.

Like this one linky

cheers guys! I need proper locking diffs because its for an off roader, but i want to use a dedion so that i can have more clearance under the diff. I suppose i could just cut an axle super short and bolt on some driveshafts! I think more research is in order.

Im fairly sure i'll never build it but it would be nice to get donor parts lined up and modelled to fit.
