    That's just personal experience tho, still looks good. . .
    Good point Rossco.

    Never said it did, better off putting one in the front, but if $$$ arent a problem
    then front and rear lockers would be ideal.
    My last 4x4 had two lockers and would idle up nearly everything,
    still waiting to fit my Pro-locker [in the front]

    Uneek Difflocker
    The Cap Locker is a new design of pneumatically (air – operated) selectable differential locks for 4WDs. The Lockers have been designed in Australia and best of all will be manufactured in Australia.

    Cap Lockers are going to revolutionise the Locker market in Australia and throughout the world. Cap Lockers are real steel machined and hardened. They will also provide a full 5mm of engagement with the locking ring, which is more than the 3mm that is seen in other lockers. They will be cheaper to buy and also cheaper and easier to fit, making lockers accessible to a lot more 4WD owners. Better, cheaper, easier and design and manufactured in Australia!

    There will be 4 different types of lockers in the CAP Locker range, the PR locker, the LSD Locker, the FR Locker and the Comp locker.

    The PR Locker is the Partial Replacement Locker. For those with an open differ and a 4 pinion centre, the PR Locker will be an addition to your factory centre. What makes the PR Locker unique is that it reuses the existing factory casing and gears. Other lockers throw these parts out and use a cast housing. This makes the CAP locker cheaper because it consists of less parts.

    The LSD CAP Locker is a similar version that bolts onto the existing LSD center and uses the existing gears and clutch packs. The LSD wlll now be open as standard with a button for LSD and a button for pure locked. Importantly, it does not atter whether the clutch pack is old or new as the system negates any previous wear and tear.

    The FR CAP Locker is a full replacement locker for those with a 2 pinion diff – it is a full replacement. It will use the CAP locker system with a new 4 pinion carrier.

    Design work is continuing on the CAP Competition Locker. Uneek is hoping to solve one of the big problems with comp lockers and will be seeking an entirely new Patent on these before their release.

    We are currently taking expressions of interest for the new CAP Lockers.

    Pricing is expected to be around $700 - $900. Please register an expression of interest as we are using this information to work out which vehicles we are going to build next. The first model released will be for Suzukis. We expect pre-sales for them to start in the next 4 weeks for a Xmas delivery. Delivery will be strictly first in best dressed.

    Interesting sounds like it will be good. A selectable button for lsd and locker. I wonder if you can leave it selected on lsd 24/7

    Open diff is better on the road. Maybe you could choose lsd once you get offroad and lock it in when needed.
    Will be following these because I do want a front locker soon

    Sounds like too many options for me and can't really think it it being advantageous in real world use. As Winnie said open is smother on road and locker is 100% drive when you need it. Can't see when you would want something in between. It will be good for marketing tho offering something that's others don't.

    Sounds like a selectable version of the Lokka! Not a bad idea at all, especially for strong diffs like in a Patrol. Why replace all of the hardware.

    I don't know where you'd see a demo, but 4x4earth will be doing a podcast interview on the cap lockers soon.
