Auto Lockers... which one??

[Bloodyaussie]

It comes down to dollars... I need to rebuild my hubs again and put new bearings in and I have 2 mortgages and trying for a third.. kids school fees and so on .... so me spending $2000 on getting a locker installed is not fair on my family so whether I like it or not the only locker for me is an auto if I want one at all... so dont start telling me I should forget about auto ones unless you want to buy the bloody thing for me ???

I just wanted info on the different types of auto lockers and how much people spent and where I should look for the best deal... ??? thank you!!!!!!!!

Same princible foot down locked, foot off unlocked right ??
Not my cup of tea, better options out there But thats just my opinion.
Had one in the rear of late 4x4 as I was offered at price I couldn't refuse.
Took it out . Not for me but you like them, hey Two different opinions
from two ppl who hav tried them. I'm just saying I wouldn't fit one
Again

No always locked in 4wd unlocks when turning
Locks when turning and on the loud pedal

Yeah price and location was the other question???

Setting the backlash was the only thing stopping me from doing it myself......

BA the guys over here are paying $460 for a spartan and installing themselves, i think a couple have had them installed for around $200, so pretty cheap.

If thats $200 install on the front thats good value.
As cant charge extra for front end rebuild lol

[Stropp]

the spartans are on ebay out of the usa for $370 delivered to the door.

Also would you need to put part time free wheeling hubs on the front ???

Thanks thought so, more $$$$$ for you BA,

@ Growler you saying under going uphill you have steering???
not that you'd be going full noise you should be only creeping with locker engaged'
might have answered my own question. go figure. Still not my cup of tea, I like selecting
when and where the locker should be activated .

This is the info page about a "lokka" locker. They work slightly different to the others, detroit and lockrite. But end of the day they are more or less the same thing. Try to not think of them as an "Auto-Locker" per say, think of it as an auto UN-locker.
They call Lokka's a 25 min locker, as they are that easy to install. I know i will be getting one soon. From memory they are about $400. I actually email lokka the other day to get a quote with shipping to my place (qld) so i will let you know.

I have a mate with a gq with a lockrite in it, and i would say that it hasnt hampered his turning to any real noticeable amount. The only time i ever noticed it, was when i was trying to do a flick spin (turn the car with power) but it just pushed through as it locker when i put my foot down. It comes down to, drive the car accordingly. For the price they want its almost a case of why not more then anything.

I will be getting a Lokka brand locker very soon.

yeh one pf the guys over here that does a fair bit of hardcore stuff says the spartan has thicker pins so is stronger so i just went by his say so and bought one, so hopefully he is right.
