Thanks for the vid mate. What locker do you have in your truck? I'm contemplating this but not sure which way to go, Air, electric or the constant locked type I suppose you call it.

Andy has the lokka locker (auto) there brilliant and cheap not a fan of the air locker but as I've got my new toy I'm in your boat now get another lokka or elocker

Air locker all the way from me - but I've harped on about the reasons why for yonks ... ask NickPeacock36 what happened to me on a chicken track when I inadvertently forgot to turn off my locker ... looked like a D grade amateur ...

GSC will be releasing air lockers that are both high spec (cold dipped, case hardened gears; 2 year warranty; etc) pretty soon that will be about half the price of well known brands already in the market ... hopefully will make it less of a financial decision for people, and more of a practical use on and off road decision ...


I'd Tap That!!

Go the auto lokka from 4wd systems $360 delivered and piss easy to install. Totally transforms your 4wd.

"Nice but Dim" here ;), suffering terminology termoil :/
Is the "auto lokka" from 4wd systems the same as the Lokka in the youtube clip ?

@ BigRig. Who is GSC? I see the reason for an Air Locker, you get to choose when the wheels are locked...But as for many, the costs are ridiculous for the average joe like me. I am very temped to just get an Auto Locker because of the price but I don't really want the heaving steering that comes with have the front locked all the time. But easier to instal than a E or Air locker....

Hey mate

Great Southern Camping (vendor thread started the other day). Should be retailing (I.e. even cheaper to members here) at around half the going price for a front locker with compressor and loom kit. Full Australian backed 2 year warranty.

Hey Andy what was labour on fitting your one.....????

What do you think Scotty's ones are going to be like???

These lockers are so tempting for the price and performance but I like the selectable option of air or electric I'm so torn lol

Cheers for the vid and I imagine gu install would be similar looks easy for DIY

We are looking into both, but won't know until after I see the units in China at the start of March.

I think a few hundred to fit mate, I paid a bit extra and got all the seals and Cv done at the same time.

I can't comment on Scotty's ones mate haven't seen them but I do know he won't put out crap quality.

If you can use a ratchet and spanner you can install an auto lokka. Took me about 2 hours to dissemble, install, have smoko and then put back together.

I came across my video embedded on your site. I hope it helps anyone who wants to install the Lokka. This was the 4wd systems branded LOKKA. The actual changing of the centre is fairly quick and easy. I hve had a air locker before in my other 4wd.
The autolocker works well, as everyone else states the steering is a little heavier and it tends to want to steer straight but this is not a real issue and if you are on a budget this is not a bad option. Works great and I cannot fault it.

Here is another link to another common issue: Changing the radius arm bushes (not as hard as all the experts on the internet make out)

Yes this is the 4wd systems LOKKA.

difficult for me..... :)
