Brand new D40 Lokka

[leo d40]

Hey all,

I have decided to not install the lokka I purchased through the group buy, so if anyone wishes to purchase one please PM me. $450 including shipping.

Reason for not installing it, the minister of finance has just agreed on allowing me to purchase and start to build up a GQ so I don't see the need to put in a lokka when I won't be using it.

Cheers.

Would have snapped it u if it was for a d22, I missed out on the group buy...

What year and $$ are you looking to spend on the GQ?

 

[leo d40]

Looking at 89 to early 90's, 4.2D. No idea on what I want to spend, mate and I are quite mechanically minded (he's ex mechanical everything and I learnt off my mechanic Dad), so if I find something that needs some work for cheap cheap I'll pick it up.

So I'll keep the ute for work and the beach, and when I eventually get the GQ, it will be built to do all the stupid stuff

Get on this guys its a bloody bargain, they retail for $570 or even more from superior and at $450 INC post its even cheaper then the groups buy!!

Bit of a Bummer mate, well sort of, but great you get to build up the dream rig.

you wont even know its in there

You will hardly hear it
If you do it will be a slight ticking sound, like a ratchet

 

[nathand22]

Mike had his installed in his D40 the other day and said he cant even tell its there.

The D22 is a different story due to being able to unlock the hubs.

If you go to 4WD SYSTEMS web site they have a full run down on how it operates, but basically the LOKKA is always in a locked state position, when the ground forces change (ie turning a corner) and there is no input from the drive shaft/throttle the unit will unlock.
BUT if you are accelerating the LOKKA will lock and the more throttle you give it the more force is applied via the drive shaft LOCKING the unit tighter and while under acceleration the LOKA will NOT unlock.

So in a D40 with it in 2WD the unit will unlock every time you go around a corner, so at worst you may hear a very slight click sound but from what Mike said you cant hear it from inside the cab.

front or rerar.

 

[nathand22]

front im pretty sure they dont even make a rear one for the D40

 

[Aussie Frontier]

What model D40 is it for ?
If it fits an 07 rear d40 Ill take it

Actually they do a unit that fits the D40 and the later rangers for the rear

The group buy was for the front, so this is from the group buy as i posted it to Leo so no it wont fit yours mate.

BUGGA CRAP
Being a 4x2 mine is a single spinner diff so locking the rear would be helpful at times lol

I dont think they do mate, this is a 4WD SYSTEMS LOKKA if you look here at their model list it shows that its not listed for the rear of the D40

Eaton has been making an Elocker for the Titan for some time and AFIK Harrop is resealling the Eaton kit

Yeah they are also one of our sponsors and I have been chatting with them allot lately, they are selling the Eaton stuff as HARROP with Eaton technology.

But this is a different unit all together from both HARROP's mechanical and electronic systems

If anyone does want to look through the Eaton range can we use this link

as they are monitoring how many click through they get from this site to valuate how much traffic they get to allow even more help with future musters.

[leo d40]

I might be interested mate. CAn you please give some more details on the benifits of a lokka?
