I run an auto locker in the front diff, called a Lokka from 4WD Systems in Adelaide Aus, delevered in Aus $575. Works great, fitting take about 5/6 hours as u have to take most of the front end out, but that would be the case with an one of them. I was told they are going to develope one for the rear next year.
Cheers Bruce

Haven't u heard doesn't rain here  no so far have not incounted this. ) off to do some sand driving next week with the camper trailer on the tow so it will be interesting to see how much easier it is with the Lokka. Cheers Bruce |

Have an aussie lokka in front of my 88 swb bighorn, with lsd in rear - lokka supplied by steve at 4wdstuff in Chch for about $525, though exchange rate could have forced that price up a bit. V impressed with lokka esp in hillclimbs and uneven ground, and will give it a good workout Labour weekend on the Old Man range and a few other slippery spots. Front lokka can have a bit of a mind of its own, but you're travelling slower now with the extra traction so not really a problem. Big advantage. But then so is the addition of a lsd.
My model bighorn has a 10 bolt rear diff, and if I remember rightly from talking to 4wd Systems in Adelaide, there is a rear lokka currently available for this model also - I think..This needs checking but could give some choice for bighorn owners.
Part no for lokka for my bighorn 4.3 ratio diff is LR39 - 17 spline. If you are interested in lokka Jeff, best thing is phone 4wd Systems and check options - though I think mus are 12 bolt diffs? 4wd Systems = 00618 8369 0033.
And a random thought for offroaders - just fitting a new set of 32" hankook RTO1 muds, and amazed that the old ones did 42,000ks for just 6mms of wear - from 14ms new, down to 8ms. Hell of a good performance for a not expensive tyre. I change them at 8mms to keep sharp tyres but if run right out they would do 85-90,000ks. Amazing for basic muds. Thoroughly recommended.
Mike.
