And so what if it is? If it's been/being tested and it's up to scartch, why WOULDN'T you buy one?

ANd PUHLEASE DON'T trot out the old 'supporting Aussie businesses argument...................the vast majority of us postulate this argument from the driver's seat of our JAPANESE 4wd's!!

Ok wasnt guna bother but now im on a rant. The topic if i beleive is about lockers i was giving the guy a bit of my knowledge about a product and with no knowlidge of the product joe blow jumps in and puts it down and out and i dont know about others but everything on my truck ive purchased after maket is made in aus most of it is from superiour a company i beleive supports our sport. theres No need to put a product down with no knowlidge of it at all if you asked questions then decided you didnt like it thats fine but this is BS.

AGREED!

Have seen one of these lockers in action and seem to be alright. There will be a few other cars at this years comp with them in also.

If you're looking at a LOKKA, they come with 3year unconditional warranty

You can usually do a front and rear (depending on vehicle) for less than the cost of one ARB or TJM airlocker and you don't have as much installation costs as a lokka takes less time to fit. And you don't need to buy a compressor.

so overall much cheaper.

I find my front lokka just as capable as my ARB rear locker. I drive a GQ by the way.

Even if there is a proven difference, I can't see it, other than you can't disengage lokkas. That aside, is an airlocker 2-3 times more effective than a Lokka? Because that's the dollars you have to pay.

Food for thought.

passionate topic! thanx for the extra info. i would still like to hear from anyone who has actually broken either one and how or what happened to the product. my trucks running 4:6 gu diffs, and a 260kw ramjet chev so it has reasonable power. keep the info coming. cheers

at your power level,if setup correctly,you will not break the two piece rd135 or rd136 arb locker,they are stronger than your cv's and axles.

i have fixed the earlier earlier model rd78a and rd24,three piece arb lockers.
mostly they "pop" the flange cap and give the carrier bearing a hard time.

the later arb lockers rd135 and 136 use a larger carrier bearing,as well as being made from billet steel instead of cast,which fixes this problem.
