Fitting Lokka/Lock Right diffs at home

Just, all BS aside, how effective was the unit in respect to climbing steep, rough, loose hills etc. And, were there any down sides like steering troubles or difficulties in making turns etc????

I had a lockright in the front of my 91 Mav and you knew it was there!. In 4WD the steering was heavier (even with Power steering) but once used to it it was great! You can hear it disengaging around corners but it still drove through both wheels thru the corner and when the wheels were straight it pulled like a train.

Up steep rough loose hills around Woods Point, where I now gasp when I watch the video of where we went it performed beautifully.

Air Lockers tend to "tractor" i.e. drive straight ahead more so than the lockrights and cost a bomb more, although I do believe they are the best (no cost considerations) answer to make all wheels turn together.

Other trucks had the air lockers and went up the hills well too just a little more strength needed, but with power steering who cares?

I have now taken them from the Mav into my 2001 GU Patrol (with a small modification to the drive shafts) and they are still kicking after 5 years.
