IMO it comes down to learning to drive to the smaller diff and knowing when to back off, I have a Lokka in the front of mine and have never blown a diff. I also run a V8 and 35s so imo they arent weak when driven properly.me3@neuralfibre.com wrote:Whilst I am a Lokka fan, in the front of a 4Runner / Hilux I would use an ARB if you could afford it simply for the strength advantage. They are stronger and there is a fair debate about where the strength issues are. The discussion seems to be flex in the cage opens the crown wheel / pinon gap, tearing teeth off the crown wheel.
Personally, I tore apart the side gears in mine. They are only a 2 pinion, not 4. The ARB is a 4, fixing this weak point too. The cage in the ARB is *supposed* to be more rigid. PM ATS4x4 as he has some ideas relating to the 100 cruisers, and the centre is essentially the same.
FYI: After I blew mine, I put a 2nd hand unit in and put a Lokka in the rear. No more traction problems, no wheel spin, no broken front diffs. It's a cheaper option and it works very well.
