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.

Yes i do agree it is probably very hard to compare one to the other, when as you say there are so many Lock-rights sold in the US.. In saying that if your not using your troll as a comp rig and doing insane stuff all the time there is no reason they shouldn't last several years.. I got a quote from Justdifferentials.com couple weeks back for that lock-right delevered, wouldn't see why it wouldn't still be that price

Fletcha

P.S cant wait to see some pics of this Lokka in action Growlers lol

Nah i ended up buying a winch, will get a locker soon though.. Got a revised quote from Just Differentials on Thursday so you know as well, USD $380 Delivered (which is $356 AUS with current xchange rates)....
Thats a pretty good price in my books if your still interested in getting one

Ok my excitement has subsided a bit, so now I'll tell ya a bit about this AWESOME traction aid.
Hubs engaged and in 2wd you can hear it clicking at slow tight turns.
4WD high same can hear clicking whilst turning tight.
No noticeable effect driving on dirt/sand in H4 even at speed.
4 low in 3rd and 4th definately get a bit of torque steer when changing gear or accelerating on and off. (At speed on flat dirt road 40km and above)
Making it work on steep hills in low didnt notice clicking, but could feel the wheel was a bit heavier to turn. Rekon the power steer cooler Ben was gunna install is probably a good idea.
BANG FOR BUCK ABSOLUTELY IMHO
