Another lokka question ?

Is this in 2wd or 4wd mode

I got auto hubs so I can't answer than Q :-)

Good question, sitting here trying to picture in my head how it would work. I would imagine that by locking one hub in being with the locker it would also be turning the axle on the other side but wheel would still be free wheeling. I would imagine that it would put alot of strain on one of the axles (the one locked in) with only one locked in. We all know that you should lock both in any way but good point.I'm sure an expert on lockers will come along and fill us in on what or if any damage would be done to the drive train by doing this and if your theory is correct. I still wouldnt be doing it either way on solid ground tar etc will still end up with wind up I would imagine. Steve M

My 4Runner has an Ezi- Locker in the front and a Detroit in the rear. Never had any problems with the Ezi -Locker or the Detroit. I tend to forget that they are even in operation when off road clambeing up slippery hills or on loose gravel inclines . Whats more never had any problems with steering the front end . It goes where ever I point it. Have had Detroits and Ezi Lockers ever since they forst came out and prefer them any day over Air Lockers. No control if any when it comes to trying to turn. The Air locker just wants to push you straight on. Cant understand why any one would use and Air Locker - but then each to his own

yes it will work that way, (have arb air locker in front) found that out when one of my auto hubs did not lock in but you will notice the pull to the side that is locked in. (not recommended & would not recommend the old welded locka with the hub doing the work of the diff, been ther done that on a old craper)

I wouldn't even know my Lokka is there when driving on beaches, even harder sand, until you start plowing through the softer stuff with 40psi in the tyres and it just keeps on plowing! I haven't even really noticed any difference in steering at all in the 99 TD Jackaroo, can't even hear the unit lock/unlock, but it's definitely working. Mines' in the front of course!

What would you expect to pay for a lokka to installed in the front diff of an IFS Hilux?

My Ezi Locker cost me $1075 fully installed adn the Detroit was about a $80 more expensive. At least they work when they are most needed, and the best part is that I dont even know that they are there. At least I can concentrate on where I am aiming to place the the wheels and not have to worry about switching air lockers on adn off all the time. The rear locker beats the hell out of a LSD - especially Toyota LSD`s which are notorious for wearing out in no time at all.

Hi mrbasilbrush. To be totally honest with you I have to say I truthfully do not know the answer to your question. I wish I did, but dont want to start clutching at straws in the hope that I am giving you the right answers to your question when in fact I might be totally wrong. Lets see if there is anyone out there who can give an honest and an unbiased answer. All I know is that the Ezi Locker was recommended by the shop in Perth who deals with all this gear , and these guys all own very heavily modified 4x4s . I was also advised that with the IFS setup in the front, the Ezi- Locker was more suited than any of the other lockers. There really wasnt much difference in the price, so price was not a factor when it came to having the lockers installed. Thats the best I can do for you.
