Got mine from toptraction.com.au for around $400 delivered so its around the same at the reduced price of the Lokka, I think they are realising this now which is good.

If they're both in stock and around the same price, I would probably go with the Lokka as its Australian made. They are the same design and both very well made so its just a matter of personal choice, availability, price etc

I would have done that if i was you ^

Top traction has them @ $425 free delivery, so $399 + delivery from 4wd systems could workout about the same cost ?

Yes, i suspect they are almost the same thing, just depends on what brand you heard get appraised or bagged first i guess, i cant find any real evidence one way or the other ............. probly both made somewhere in china anyway (ha-ha)

Can't wait to hear the test report growlers, hurry up buddy lol..

I can get a lock-right delivered for about $370, the only reason I was going to go lock-right is because I have been reading that they are stronger than the lokka, weather or not this is a true fact I'm not sure

May i ask where you can obtain one for $370 inc del , thats sounds good.

I too have read people say US one is made from stronger metal (but with no evidence at all to support claims), ive only ever hear of pins and springs breaking, and google shows heaps of US ones have failed over in the US.

Very hard to compare numbers between AU and US, with the difference in population and sales etc, but all people ive read about with broken AU ones , seem to have been given free replacement parts , not that that helps you pull the diff apart to replace them.

Yes, id have to agree, the difference even just a front locker can make, is quite amazing in some situations ive seen.

Just FYI Fletcha, sometimes lokkas will make no difference whats so ever on the slippery red clay.

Remember that steep hill you guys couldn't get up at Toolangi and you almost soiled yourself.

Warnie couldn't get up with his lokkas either. Instead of one wheel spinning you just have both...lol

Thats only in 10% of the situations though....lol.
