Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey i've got a gu 2.8td im looking to get a front locka how much will i be looking to pay and whats the best brand and what kind air or mechanical and who to put it in

Mate just a word of advice you are about to get hung out to dry as there are a million posts already on this topic. Just in future try to do a search first!!!!!!!

In my opinion I would go ARB air lockers but would go rear first before front,once again just my opinion!!! If it was me I would do the both. Front and rear fitted with on board air kit for tyres with heavy duty lines. Approx $3700 with a bit of wheeling and dealing. Lockrite lokka in the front will also work well but you cant turn it off, I wont say they are no good as have had them in my old hilux and they did the job fine!!! a much cheaper option as one will cost you from memory about $550.

As i say this is just my opinion !!!! Opinions are like AR@#HOLES everyone has got one and most of the time they stink !!!

Hope this helps a little

Your question is pretty vague - probably wouldn't hurt to elaborate a bit and tell us what the car already has, what your budget is, and what you plan on doing with the car.

The "What diff lock for my car?" thing has been covered boggedyzillion times - as cruiser pointed out, do a search and spend an hour or two reading up on older posts.

The auto lockers (Lokka) are $500, not fitted. Any half capable person can fit them (capable mechanically that is).

Air lockers will cost you about $1200 plus fitting, plus all of the other gear.

As for brands, its personal choice depending on your budget and what brands you like. I like Nissan, and some of the other weirdo's on here like Toyota - hell, some of them even like Jeeps. Different horses for different courses mate.

I have a factory locker in the rear and a lokka in the front. I hardly use the factory rear locker now the front one is fitted. gets a little hard on steering, difficult to control at high speed in H4, but apart from that I love the mechanical lokka up front. Pulls the pig out of alot of deep holes and shit. Have gone thropugh three stes of hubs and one right CV since installing lokka and running 35" silverstones.

ALBUNDY,

Try using the rear locker aswell this should help with the load on the front cvs and hubs. This is why i suggest a rear locker first!!!! Once again just my opinion ! But i ran lokkas in my old hilux with 35s maxxis muzillas and never did a cv and they in my opinion have weak cvs. dont get the front to do all the hard work!!!!!!!!

point taken, but the breakages only occurred after the fitting of 35" silverstones. I will give your theory a go though. I found without the rear axle I gained more wheelspin to clear the tread thus digging and gaing more traction. It is definitely engaged in off camber, slower speed stuff.

For sure the 35s will put more strain on the drive train , you are quite correct !! Mind you a lot of people run a locker in the front and are happy with the lsd in the rear. This is why I say it is just my opinion and it seems to work for me !

Cheers
