Lockright locker in rear axle. Ordered at Rocky-Road, USA and installed by Xtremetoys.
In Europe lockers are not so common as in the US. Based on internet information I ordered a lockright-locker and it really performs,awesome! Driving on the road needs a bit of getting used to. But despite all the horror-stories found (also) on the internet, it is not really a major change. I like the clicking noise which you can hear in tight corners. Here it is where your driving style has to adapt most: let it roll through, accelerate (a bit) or drive with a bit of a slipping clutch (not advised). These 3 options eliminate possible drivetrainwrap. On normal corners you don't really notice much. Just don't start jerking around in corners (on highway-exit's for example). With jerking I mean hitting the gas and then letting go and vice versa. You don't want the locker to engage then...
I use my Sammy as a daily driver and it works perfect with the locker.
For the front I recently ordered a Lockright locker (at RRO, USA). To be able to keep turning the wheels I complimented the order with Toyota powersteering (also RRO, USA). On the road I will set my hubs into Free so on-road-driving is not affected at all by the frontlocker.
Too slow the ricecracker a bit down I ordered 5.83 Ring & Pinion Gears (RRO, USA)
As soon as it all is installed you�ll find my review.
Future modifications:
Lower gearing (maybe Calmini) |
