Improve traction in Hilux 2wd.

Hello all.

I have a 2003 Hilux 2wd which I use to carry my slide on camper and to tow my boat. I have no real problems except that I probably should have bought a diesel instead, however.......

My biggest problem is traction at the boat ramp, be it concrete or dirt at the dams. Occasional dirt road use is not really a problem, however, some extra traction certainly would not go astray.

I am considering fittiing either a Limited Slip Diff or a Lokka Automatic Locking Diff.

I am concerned about the effect of the Lokka on steering ie: powering out of a turn or roundabout. I understand that the Lokka will unlock when you remove power, but what happens when you maintain power?

I have been told that a LSD may not work too well when one wheel is off the ground.

I don't know anyone personally who has either of these fitted, so I have to rely on information in these pages, and from people in the trade.

Any comments, for or against will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you listening.

Chris.
