My attempt at installing a LOKKA brand Auto locker

Mate gotta love the auto lockers (i Do) my GQ is a pov pak and didnt come with a front swaybar so i dont think itll be an issue for you either

I was going to save for an air locker, but if this is so good, i could get my turbo sooner if I went this way. Does it reduce your turning circle by much?

In two wheel drive absolutely no difference to steering at all. In 4wd turning circle is larger with or without a locker. I'll try post a vid up in this thread later today or tomorrow of driving a tight sandy track and my dodgy commentary with it :-) I found no issues at all

I have a auto locker in my ute and I dont think my turning circle is worse. I have got the ute into some tight spots

If you don't do this yourself how much is a reasonable amount for a mechanic to charge? i was quoted $600 and there is no way i am paying that. I'm good with building stuff with wood but am almost mechanically retarded excepting general vehicle maintenance

No way mate, it's a $200-300 job with someone who knows what they're doing ... 3-4 hours.

Where are you based? We could recommend some places.

I'm in Townsville, we get absolutely ripped here. A good example is my 3" lift with castor correction. i supplied the parts and only two shops in the whole town would fit the lift. i ended up paying $550 to have it installed. I will ring a few more places tomorrow, most places don't want to do the job
