Harrop Eaton ELocker Versus GU Family Wagon Auto Hubs?
G’day NP.com.au Team,
We are looking towards purchasing an ELocker for the front differential of our family GU wagon for some extra Nissan great rear LSD assistance on an upcoming adventure early next year.omegle discord xender
Have experienced great mechanical reliability from ARB Air Lockers over the years on my shorties and utes with free wheeling hubs and saver rings although to be honest cannot be bothered with air lines this family time around.
As slow and steady as I’m allowed to wagon go would really appreciate any feedback on whether or not stock auto hubs (turned to true off road lock of course) would survive?
We really do like the stock auto function back at home in and out of grassy paddocks and are hoping they might be ok out there under heavier locker duress?

Had a Auto Lokka in the front of my GU for years with standard Auto Hubs, i did convert the Hubs to Manual "Only" to avoid conflict with the way the Auto Lokka works, but this mod takes bits out of the hub, and so offers no added strength (i ran no saver rings or other mods to hub)
I flogged it all through some pretty serious stuff, and it was my Daily so did lots of Ks, never broke a Hub.
You MUST lock them in M as you have already suggested you will, the only problem is, if someone has already flogged the Hubs in Auto Mode (could be previous owner) they may have left lots of fractures waiting for the extra load to just go pop on you, i think this is why Auto Hubs got a reputation as being weak, anyway.......they are dead easy to replace if you do break one, and having a locker you can still drive with a busted Hub.

Looks like a bit of SPAM hereto me - cut and paste of @MB original post and then a link to a VLC post? Not game to click on the final post link.

G’day TIp12345 Mate!
Which brand of Auto-Lockers are you running these days mate?
In days of yesteryear around our slippery rock river crossing valley regions the old variants used to get mechanically confused and self destroy
