Lokka or Lockright ?

mate I think they may be the same unit just rebadged. I had a rear lokka from 4wdsystems in SA, was happy with the unit, even more happy with their service and price tags (they have cheap snorkels) and all was well. Also you would be buying aussie. in the end i cant see you being upset either way.

Can you put them in front and rear together?
Is the front diff on an IFS Hilux strong enough for these types of diff locks?

Get the Detroit.

All the best

I have a lokka from 4WDsystems in the front of my Toyo 60 series and I have been very happy with it. I think it is important to make sure it is installed properly and not to try to do it yourself(as the literature seems to suggest you can do easily) - unless of course you are knowledgeable and experienced in working with diffs. However, I seem to recall posts a few years ago that suggested there had been "funny business" re ownership/rights to this design which had a bearing on the price difference between types. Someone with a longer memory than mine might be able to give more info on this. I have a feeling that there was a court case, so you might need to watch just how this gets discussed.

I have a lokka in my GU and very happy with it. I know many that have this and they are all very happy.

Installed a Lokka in the 75 series from 4wd systems 3 years ago and no problems. Had it done by a differntial mob in Myaree tho just to make sure it was installed correctly.

Money well spent.

From what I understand, the Lokka is a copy of the Lockright. I've also read that the Lockright is a better product and made of better quality metals. That's not to say that the Lokka is crap, just not as good. I guess that's why there is a price difference. As the LSD is well shagged in my 80 series, I'm looking at fitting a Lockright in the future.

I read somewhere, maybe a previous thread, that they can be clunky and noisy. Anyone have a comment about this?
As they work differently than the air lockers, do they put more or less strain on the diffs, axles and CV joints than the air locker?
