Lokka install in Bundaberg area

[FatBoy89]

Making sand driving easier,

Why not just run 2wd if its that easy? There are times in soft sand where it'll bog right down. You argument is invalid.

unlock 1 hub and it's 3wd. the side that's locked will still always have drive as long as the transfer case is in 4wd, that's the idea behind a lokka. then if you do get stuck / bogged down too much, just lock the other side in again and you are back to 4wd...

 

[FatBoy89]

I understand what you're saying. But a vehicle in 3wd is not as efficient as a vehicle in 4 wheel even without a locker!
Otherwise they would make all of them 3wd. Why don't you lock just one hub every time you go out? Because its ****ing stupid

 

[bods]

no, you don't only lock 1 hub because if you did with an open centre diff you would not have any drive at all, it would just spin the side that's not locked. so, in that case you still only have a 2wd...

You argument is invalid.

No argument!
And valid.

Well, you don't really take your time in mud? Momentum is your friend in mud and if you're locked and bump any hidden rocks there is the chance of smashing cvs.

the counter argument to this is that without a locker you tend to spin up one wheel and when that grabs a rock etc is when you break a cv.

i would suspect the reason why your breaking cv's is that with a locker your now going faster trough the mud and actually putting power through the front. without the locker you can't put power down with the front as it spins one wheel. not putting power down means no breakage.

In my case I am just trying to make the vehicle a more competent tourer. Idont go out looking for mud to thrash through, although thats not to say that I will not have to when I come across it. As for sand, again it would only be when I came across a sandy track, I don't take my vehicle on the beach or the islands.From what I have read here and in ,agazine articles I think the Lokka will be a cost efffective way of achieving my aim.

Is this true? I've heard that if you lock one hub with the lokka, then u will maintain 3 wheel drive.

What is correct? Will we have drive to that wheel or none?

If you read through that you will see what the responses were for, maybe I should quote the post I am referring to from now on...

All I can say is if I had a lokka in mine today then I wouldn't have broken the FARKER because the wheel with all the weight on it would have still been driving instead of the farker that took a little air time! Thank GOD for Nissan LSD because I was only half way up a track and a half with only my Daughter with me. In any form a diff lock is better than none IMHO!!!!

Cheers Brad

Well said! I was only referring to drivin in mud.

I'm just a little bit pissed, and pissed off ATM, because I know it would have cost me less to have installed the LOKKA in the first place. Initially I thought it might have been a hub because both CV's are intact. Checked the left hub because that's where the clunking feels to be coming from, all good there, DIFF??
