"Lokka" Diff lock in rear of GU

[pjhicks3]

Has anyone fitted a "lokka" diff lock to the rear of their patrol? I am interested in one due to it's price competitiveness, but a little concerned about the driveability....

thought about shimming the LSD? probably waaay cheaper and less maintenance?
just my 0.02c worth ;)

Had one in previous 4x4 , don't recommend it, Patrols have great LSD. save your money for Pro Locker for the front

I had thought of shimming it - is that only if it is a bit worn out or does it assist even if it is new? I have low KM (135,000KM) so it shouldn't be too bad I would have thought?

You'll find that patrols have the best LSD around. What makes you want to auto lock it? Do you find only one wheel spinning?
It might be better to fit an auto lokka in the front.

shimming once fixes up loose lsd,
shimming twice stiffens the crap out of it and makes it awesomely tight
shimming it 3 times.... youve welded the diff

Depends how thick the shims are. Someone on here got a shim off fleabay that was .7mm and was too thick, making the diff pretty much locked. He machined it to .5mm and found it worked perfect. I can't search for the thread atm but you might find it if you search. There may be some other useful info in that thread too

im pretty sure they dont make lokkas for the rear i think its only detroit that make them. A 0.7mm shim (on ebay) will lock a good lsd. you need about 0.3 or 4. but you need to get that made at a made at a machine shop

I think someone else was talking about this at some stage as they list one for the rear of a GU but not for the GQ

don't bother mate either save your money or put it in the front!

[healy]

They don't make lokka for rear diffs only for the front

It does seem they dont do one for the rear. Probably for good reason as they wouldnt sell a lot with the strength of a patrol lsd.

There was an advert recently in some publications for the LoKka in patrol rear diff, but i think it turned out to be a typo
