GU with AutoHubs. Will a LOKKA be a problem?

[ghagan]

Hi there everyone.. In days of past, I had a LockRite in the front of my GQ.. It was brilliant. Yes got a little heavier in the steering when in H4 or L4 but the traction was awesome..

I cant justify the price of a Air or E Locker at the moment.. But I do like the crawl up obstacles rather than have to smash over them option....

SO my question is,, can they be fitted to a vehicle (2009 GU ST-L) that has AutoHubs...

I see that lots of people love them, and lots hate them. Im not worried about that. Just want to know if it is an option or do I need to convert to Manual Hubs ?

Cheers..

I think 04off has a lokka brand locker you could try giving him a pm . I have also read about removing a part from your auto hub and it becomes manual only that way you can save some coin

I did that conversion on my auto hubs. Easy job to do. As for the op's question. I believe you will have issues will an auto locker. Im sure plenty of others will be able to tell you for certain though.

I'll be looking at a auto locker as I just can't justify the coin for a air or eaton locker

As I wrote in my PM.....


In a word, the Lokka is awesome, i can just cruise over stuff that I usually would need speed, this reduces the chance of damage.

They also work well in the sand.


Your auto hubs will most likely NOT work with the lokka, I have heard of people using them, but mine would try and engage when in 2wd, you can convert your auto hubs to manuals in about 5 min (this is what I did), it just means you need the wheel brace to lock them, as obviously they don't have a finger tab like factory manual hubs.


If you order a Lokka from 4wd systems, allow up to 5 weeks for it to arrive despite what they say about having them in stock , or that they are only 2 weeks away.

You can get the same thing from the USA (lock-right) and will probly arrive quicker.

Thought yours looked stock, at glasshouse when Matty said all us auto boys with auto hubs you didn't say yours were manual when he stopped to unlock his lol

Yeh, looks can be deceiving (lol), a great thing with a auto lokka ,you can still drive in 2wd with the hubs manually locked in, no problem, so I just unlock them when im airing up , saves getting out/stopping twice.


Anyway, all you boys with full Auto hubs, are crazy if you don't manually "lock" your auto hubs in doing glasshouse tracks, especially the tracks you drive Troy (haha)

if your fitting an auto locker you'll need to convert your auto hubs to manual for sure

Ask BA how long he was waiting for his Lokka before he canceled his order.

check the spartan locker out, i got mine when the dollar was high but only took 10 days from the us compared to BA waiting months lol
