yeah but you would think they would have done something to fix it i use to drive a GU 4.2 but went over to Toyota, when i took it for a test drive the car sales man showed me that the LSD works all wright. this was on the Toyota 4x4xmore track in Brisbane.

Even if your LSD is working as it was designed, it will still not works as good as your mates Lockers....
1 locker is still better then 2 lsd's IMOP...
The other thing is Nissan LSD's are better designed and in general work better.. Your toyo lsd can be reshimmed, but i guarantee you still will not be happy (plus the lsd will just wear out after a while)

if you want a lsd get a detroit tru trac. they're gear driven so they shouldnt ever loosen. i got one in the rear, its been in mine for a yr and half and is still tight, they just seem to let go real easy when a wheel juuussst comes off the ground.... my diff gears were rooted so it cost me nearly 1600 including the tru trac. id go a locker anyday!!

No tru trak available for the larger toyota diffs, I've tried and failed with that one. Smaller hilux, bundera and small front diff cruisers (later models) are available.
