  • Price is good. The lockers alone are that price and more, that compressor and inflation kit is another $357.

    EDIT: Should have clicked the link, pump up kit included.

    Now to convince the wife that it would make her life so much better if i got this installed in my Hilux….

    • +2

      Forgiveness is often easier than permission.

    • It's a safety device… at least that's what I told my wife!

  • If you do, go the front.

    I've had separately over the years …

    back only

    back and front

    front only

    all GU's. always 33's. MTR's or duratracs

    Front is the most profound change, and makes improves the axle with the least travel

    • LSD in those GUs? Nissan has a great LSD, so adding a locker there is often not so dramatic. If open centre or a lesser LSD, rear should work fine.

    • Most seems to fit the rear first due to needing the locker when climbing hills and the weight is transferred to the back. The vehicles that come with a locker as standard are all at the rear (FJ Cruiser, Challenger, MY16 Hilux).

      • Id say this is because Front locker is more dangerous to have if it is engaged accidentally. And they don't want broken cv warranty claims.

    • Front? I'd say go the rear.
      I've got lockers front and rear on a Jeep Wrangler. I use the rear locker more often than the front. Must be the LSD in the rear on GU as mentioned by Tuba that makes your rear locker less important. All the weight is on the rear when climbing, plus, the front locker messes with the steering more (makes steering heavy and tends to push the car straight ahead despite wheel turn)

      • Id suggest front or rear is more relevant to what what else you have now. If you have a working rear LSD, and can only buy one locker, Id definitely go front. If you dont have an LSD, buy whichever. There are pros and cons to both. ie: reversing out of a situation, front locker is the rear now. If youre pushed off track going down hill, and need to back up a bit, a front locker is going to be like a rear. Ive also read a fairly convincing argument that up hill, front or rear makes less difference than you might think.

        Theres actually times where a locker will be less helpful than a good LSD. Lockers can dig you in. It really does depend on numerous factors re: what you choose and where. And whatever you decide there will be times where that decision would have been better if you selected the other way.

        Just make a choice, and know its limits. 6 of one half dozen of the other I reckon.

  • Depends on the car.. patrols have good lsds but toyota lsds are not so good. It's alot easier and more pleasant to drive with rears engaged. But if you absolutely positively have to get through I think front would be best. Especially if it's an ifs car.
