lokka lock rite diff locks

I had the manual hubs fitted to my SR5. The Lokka has no effect when hubs not locked. With hubs in and still in 2wd has no effect or sound that I can hear. Only works when in 4wd and hubs locked. Had it only 10 months so don't know about long term reliability. Read a bit before deciding. Others seemed happy. Been off road quite a few times on some rocky terrain and sand driving. I fitted the hubs so when front wound up a bit then CV's not running at highway speeds. The original hubs are live with a disconnecting device on one of the axles next to the diff. This allows for 4wd on the fly which you lose with hubs disconnected. CV's running all the time if no manual hubs fitted.

Hi Pat,

Can I take it from your response you have fitted manual hubs to the trol ?

Have been thinking of fitting a lokka to my trol but was wondering about the auto hubs.

The lokka is certainly cheaper. I kind of distantly, remotely recall that there was some kind of legal case over the design similarities, or maybe as to who had the rights to make or distribute them. I've never seen any reason to regard them as a "nasty" copy however.

Top d, this court case will explain the difference between the lockright & powertrax

Thanks Stevo. I thought it was something like that. I tried reading it through but got a bit lost in the lawyerspeak. My impression is that it is a franchising issue and I have no opinion on the rights and wrongs of that. It just seems to me that there are no grounds for regarding the Lokka as a cheap and nasty copy, although there may be other reasons for not buying the Lokka.
