    You'll love it and completely change your driving but I did get a little sick of the heavy steering when all day off-roading to be honest especially in the high country but I found a work around by using 4h a lot more and on the fly back to 2h

    I had one installed on Saturday and had replacement 4.11 diff centers put in at the same time. I got to the mechanic at 7 and was gone by 1 and that was putting the back center in also. Didn't look like a complicated task and if I hadn't just had a hernia op I would probably give it a go. The rattle gun certainly made a difference.
    I'm yet to test it but have been told to just take it easy until you get use to it.

    Thank's for the reply's fellas.

    Sounds like there's fairly varied opinions but the general consensus is that they're not a bad bang for ya buck...

    I'll give one a go and see what happens

    Good call!
    They are probably the best bang for your buck that you can get. They certainly work well and for the $380 or so for the LOKKA it leaves money for other mods. Easy to steer with them in 4WD, just back off the throttle, turn wheel and then apply power again. You just need a short time to learn how it behaves and then you wont notice it the front most of the time.

    I wouldnt put one in the front, like my steering too much.
    with 330rwkw Id opt for a selectable locker.
    I know heaps of guys with those rear kw figures
    and not one has chosen to go an auto locker in the front or rear for that matter
    In fact most pulled out their ARB lockers in favour of a TJM Pro Locker.
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    Just curious, who is "most" ? Not being biased or anything towards ARB or against TJM.

    Don't know anyone in the comp scene with TJM lockers. They all run ARB or Eaton elockers.
