Hi to all. hav been wanting a set of air lockers front and rear for my cruiser for a while but stumbled across the Lokka diff lock systems surfing the 4x4 sspensions site. Went through all th specs on them on the lokka site and they seem like a solid unit. Does anyone have a set of these in their n/a 1hz cruisers to let me know if they are any good on and offroad. trying to make a tourin bus on a budget seems to be a up hill battle but these might be a cheaper solid axle solution for me to get out there and travel. But are they any good?

All suggestions welcome this i my first 4x4 only had it a year need educating lol!

If you can afford it, airlockers or Eaton E-lockers give you the best of both worlds, ie 100% open centres on road, so totally predictable, and fully selectable diff locking offroad, so again totally predictable.

if you want to put something in and never have to touch it again ever, use a Detroit locker.

I dont recommend it in the rear though, can be a bit annoying on road.

using a detroit locker in the rear is it just noisy or a bit unpridictable to drive on road.
