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.
