LOKKA - any updates?

Can't help with your request Djack but curios , are you fitting front or rear?

Best bet is ask someone from the Holden 4wd club.

D Jack I'm about to fit a Lockright in the front of my Patrol, (very similar to a Lokka) a mate of mine has one in the front of his Jackeroo and he has had no problems with his in his TD Jack and I'm happy to follow his example.

ok , so i asume, you want a LOKKa from Adelaide . they work well , forget the fitting it yourself in the driveway crap they pedal.
It will have to go to a diff place , so they can space it according to the ware in your diff.
Mine worked well , but I did shear the pins once , not covered under any warranty , not a expensive item , but a pain to pull the center out again.

My next one will be a TJM version.

I will be fitting a air locker in the front from ARB, there been around a long time . I know the TLM lockers are a JM product , but havent been around long enough to prove them selves to me yet.

The reason I want to run both , Mechanical and air locker ? to have a working locker if either fails . If my compressor fails , I wouldnt hav any lockers , so this way one or the other will work.

Hi D-Jack, I have just put one in the front diff in my Isuzu MU which is the same Lokka as you will need and so far it is brilliant. I replaced my auto locking hubs at the same time, put manual ones in, and yes unless you have full work shop it is a big job, first you have to pull the front end out of the vehicle.
Probably the most important thing when you have a Lokka fitted is not to give it the gas when driving it in extreme situations, could brake a cv, but with the Lokka you dont need to give it the gas just let it walk up and over, great no spinning wheels less dust just great. My mechanic charged me $230 good value when it took 6.5 hours, his first one. Some times its good living in a little country town.

Save your money and buy an air locker you can turn on and off.

Had lockrights in a 60 series years ago, once you engage 4wd they lock and stay locked, the wind up between front and rear diffs keep a load on the locker.
