I would like to fit a Lokka to the front of my 2004 3.0l td Hilux and I have spent the last hour reading about them on this forum. I think I understand that they are locked on except when turning a corner to allow the inside and outside wheels to turn at different speeds and then lock back up again when out of the corner. It also seems that with the hubs locked the steering is a little harder and wants to centre all the time.

When I drive on outback roads I lock my hubs in and most of the time engage 4wd. Will the difference in steering with Lokkas become annoying over time and will it affect tyre wear and fuel economy?

Also there was a comment about having problems on slippery, sloping ground with Lokkas. I had a few problems last year on a muddy slippery track where I was spinning off the road at 20km/h in low 4wd with the tyres almost flat and I was hoping the lokka would help in this situation. I also want to cross the Simpson desert and I think the Lokka will be perfect for this.

Any comments/advice will be appreciated.

Regards,
Bob
