Would also be interested if you could measure your approx turning circle when locked in 4wd with your open centre now (obviously need to be on grass, dirt or sand etc), so it can be compared after lokka install.
I also assume you have manual hubs ?, im interested to get the chance to confirm/dismiss the auto hub problems when used with lokkas (ive heard mixed reports about UN-locking issues)
It can be organised................

Smart like tractor
cool!! you wont regret that install. 2 things I do recomend is 140w non lsd oil and a power steering cooling kit with an auto locker you will find the steering abit harder and (with mine anyway) and after some hard work on the wheel it likes to cut out so I bought a power steering cooling kit. its pretty cheap preventitive maintenance for you (for me reactive maintenance )

Ha-ha, i guess i read conflicting info about these things all time, they are supposed to unlock one finger easy, when not under engine driven load, but everyone complains of heavy steering (even when going slow on the flat)
I know full lock is full lock, but it stands to reason that if the lokka makes the steering heavy, it is applying resistance between the two front axels/wheels , and it is not just behaving like a standard open centre on turns, therefore i can understand how this resistance could reduce your turning circle in off road situations ?
Also i wish to test the effects of the lokka on soft sand tracks, in order to steer out of deep tracks/ruts you need to hit the gas, this will not allow the release of the lokka for turning, not that i can see any "sand" offering enough resistance to unlock the lokka anyway ?

Mmmm, if you are serious ,work out how much you'd want to fit one, ill price up a lokka (after i pay for my paint repairs and sliders) perhaps if enough intrest, even organise a forum "group purchase" on lokkas , then we (well you) can demonstrate how to do the job !.......i can help of course, but id much rather take pics and write a story than play with diff oil any day
Be great if we could put together a dedicated thread with good quality install pics and write up from the start, and also include before and after test results ?

I've removed and refitted more diffs than I care to remember but I've never installed an Lokka so lets see how Growler goes first,
if it's as easy as what people say it is it won't be a problem.
