i must admit i am quite enjoying this off roading malarky:D
is it worth buying a lokka for a t2?

before you reply, depends on what your using it for? question.
the answer is.......... ........ adventure and fun.not just the school run.

I just want to get up some bits im struggling with:augie

Pop up for the weekend and we'll have it done ;)
In fact I've even got a spare diff we could use to build the lokka on then just do a quick diff swap :rolleyes:

Lokkas main site was doing free delivery to uk a few months ago. From them it was like £180 but that's without import duty etc

[makeitfit]

That's a good price guys :sly
I might just get one for the Black Pearl, hmmm :freak3:

[Banshee]

Can someone explain what they actually do? And the benefits of them?

Is it just like having Diff Lock on a Land Rover?

Better than that :D
It goes in the front diff and effectively gives a locked diff of sorts that still allows you to steer :thumbs
If you cock a wheel on the IFS then the lokka kicks in and drives the wheel on the ground . Result=drive :naughty

[solarman216]

Lokka works better on fixed hubs, I have one on my off road motor, and it is just the dogs b, but on autos it plays around a bit, this is because it only works when there is a load on the diff and with auto hubs that can be off and on when going from forward to reverse etc, to get out of a sticky situation, but do not think about putting one on the rear diff, as you would be better off just locking it up cos this is what the Lokka will do anyway as on the rear it is driven all the time, Rick

[AlexD333]

Rick i hope you have a chalk board on Sunday, i really don't understand all this, all i know is id really like one :lol

[Fez_uk]

Just checked lokkas site, still free delivery to uk. £233, So a bit more than I thought.

are they a straight forward fit? or is there a lot involved?
price seems ok to me:D

I did a full photo report on here when I did mine, you may need different thrust washers, I did and could not get them from the stealers, so stuck em in the lathe and reduced their thickness, it is all in the report, I am no good at searching but I a sure you will find it, Rick
