It will def be getting some off road readiness, a few bits to sort out then suspension, and I have got my eye on a front LOKKA (drool)

I've already got one fitted

and they are unreal!!!!! I'd take my Terry anywhere now and be fairly confident I wouldn't get stuck

Here's the manual hub conversion that I did for it;

And here's a diff that I stole from a 99" LWB that I'd pulled in for free from Wales that had a LOKKA fitted

Made some good money off it as well, was going to put it back on the road but the amount of welding it needed was ridiculous!!!!

Yeh mine needs at least one sill doing, I've fibreglassed a front wing too, doesn't look too bad either. I was really surprised at how much mine was rusting when I got and its easy to see why some get to the point of no return if owner isn't aware and doesn't sort it, I've found out so much looking on here, going to check the rear for rust in boot etc and gonna sort my digi dash out aswell, if it works spending a tenner on here will save me £100 to £200 squids, can't argue with that!!

How loud is the lokka when hubs are engaged?
Cheers, Mark

can barely hear it, Rick

Nice! I wouldn't be put off by a noise tho, just I've only ever seen/heard one on YouTube etc.

I'm a reasonable home mechanic with a decent selection of tools, would a lokka in the front diff be something you guys would recommend fitting on the driveway??
Cheers, Mark.

not too difficult to do, but I had to machine my spacer washers, as could not get any from Nissan but I have a lathe, I did a complete photo step by step guide on here, so see if you can find it, about 2 years ago I think maybe 18 months just look up threads started by me, Rick

Brilliant thanks Rick I'll have a search for it, I have a friend with a lathe, he builds scale steam trains as a hobby. Got to sort sills out for mot and some fresh suspension then hopefully a lokka, thanks again, Mark.
