Thanks for the vid mate. What locker do you have in your truck? I'm contemplating this but not sure which way to go, Air, electric or the constant locked type I suppose you call it.

[healy]

Andy has the lokka locker (auto) there brilliant and cheap not a fan of the air locker but as I've got my new toy I'm in your boat now get another lokka or elocker

[Bigrig]

Air locker all the way from me - but I've harped on about the reasons why for yonks ... ask NickPeacock36 what happened to me on a chicken track when I inadvertently forgot to turn off my locker ... looked like a D grade amateur ...

GSC will be releasing air lockers that are both high spec (cold dipped, case hardened gears; 2 year warranty; etc) pretty soon that will be about half the price of well known brands already in the market ... hopefully will make it less of a financial decision for people, and more of a practical use on and off road decision ...

Go the auto lokka from 4wd systems $360 delivered and piss easy to install. Totally transforms your 4wd.

[makeitfit]

"Nice but Dim" here ;), suffering terminology termoil :/
Is the "auto lokka" from 4wd systems the same as the Lokka in the youtube clip ?

[mudski]

@ BigRig. Who is GSC? I see the reason for an Air Locker, you get to choose when the wheels are locked...But as for many, the costs are ridiculous for the average joe like me. I am very temped to just get an Auto Locker because of the price but I don't really want the heaving steering that comes with have the front locked all the time. But easier to instal than a E or Air locker....

Hey mate

Great Southern Camping (vendor thread started the other day). Should be retailing (I.e. even cheaper to members here) at around half the going price for a front locker with compressor and loom kit. Full Australian backed 2 year warranty.

Hey Andy what was labour on fitting your one.....????

What do you think Scotty's ones are going to be like???

[megatexture]

These lockers are so tempting for the price and performance but I like the selectable option of air or electric I'm so torn lol

Cheers for the vid and I imagine gu install would be similar looks easy for DIY

We are looking into both, but won't know until after I see the units in China at the start of March.

Pretty much a replica of ARB's ... without the price tag. Case hardened gear sets. I'll get spec sheets up as soon as I can ...

I think a few hundred to fit mate, I paid a bit extra and got all the seals and Cv done at the same time.

I can't comment on Scotty's ones mate haven't seen them but I do know he won't put out crap quality.

If you can use a ratchet and spanner you can install an auto lokka. Took me about 2 hours to dissemble, install, have smoko and then put back together.

I came across my video embedded on your site. I hope it helps anyone who wants to install the Lokka. This was the 4wd systems branded LOKKA. The actual changing of the centre is fairly quick and easy. I hve had a air locker before in my other 4wd.
The autolocker works well, as everyone else states the steering is a little heavier and it tends to want to steer straight but this is not a real issue and if you are on a budget this is not a bad option. Works great and I cannot fault it.

Here is another link to another common issue: Changing the radius arm bushes (not as hard as all the experts on the internet make out)

Yes this is the 4wd systems LOKKA.
