$500 FRONT LOCKER INSTALL!!!

[@shannon290588]

Loving the content mate , I ran a front auto lokka in my old nl pajero fully transformed it offroad and was hands down thr best budget mod I added. I must say it's nice to see content from an everyday aussie who isn't sponsored and builds a rig within the everyday Aussies budget .

[@martyferry2678]

Love ya work bud good to see Aussies doing this stuff

[@RoamLyfe]

Thanks legend!

[@davidcallow4905]

Mint video mate. Great run down showing the process which a lot of others don’t go into such detail. Personally unless they are brand new I would just replace the wheel bearings. They are cheap and the most common fail point on a patrol. Not worth using old bearings. If they are still ok just keep them as spares for when you go on trips.

[@10mwtp]

Each video, the videography and editing gets better. So good 🤙🏻

[@RoamLyfe]

I hope so mate! I wanna upgrade the camera setup so I can get better low light performance 🤘

[@einfelder8262]

You'll stop thinking about a rear locker when you experience what a difference this makes. Had a Lockrite in my GU for 11 years, first mod I did from new. At the time it was $400 and I installed it myself no issues. Lokka has same operation as Lockrite.

[@krump743]

Needs to run a bottle of engine oil flush through the rear diff for 500kms then drain and fill with new oil. That will clean up that lsd friction plates making it work almost like factory new again. Patrol plus lsd plus a front lokka = legendary performance 👌👌👌

[@Sethjxl]

Great job as always. Just an FYI on the bearing nut. It needs to be torqued to 167nm - 196nm, spun a few times in both directions, backed off them torqued again to 5nm then locked off. This allows the bearing race to seat and spin freely.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Great work. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Got the same Lokka in my GQ wagon ,, is mint there fine in the sand i find ,, unless you full send up cullcup hill and throw all ya belts and only have a alternator water pump spare ,, so you run up deep powder sand at 10psi with a auto lokka with a tight right handler up the top hahahah was much Armstrong steering going on

[@plugg4r]

I reckon you'll find the Lokka and LSD combo will be more than enough for you. I'd keep her in until she needs her own maintenance and then swap.

[@davidquirk9711]

Awesome vid..I put a locka the same as yours in the front of my ln 106 and love it..so I put a locka..same brand..goannawhere..in the rear..because it would b tough..take out the LSD and replace with auto locka..BIG mistake if u need to use your vehicle for around town use..6 months later I took it out..because the noises that it made scared the shit out of me..it sounded like I was snapping an axle when u went around roundabouts and other normal driving procedures on the bitumen.. double locka in the bush..awesome....on the black top..bloody terrible..when I took the rear locka out..and inspected..it was in perfect condition..much to my surprise..goannawhere is a tough product..

[@brentmcd12]

great instructional video! looks really good ! well done !

[@element271]

Diff oil in the swivel hubs is annoying because it leaks easier but it does a better job for bearing life then grease does.

[@lachlank4693]

Real helpful vid mate. Just about to put an auto lokka in my 45

[@ls19991]

Most useful swivel hub rebuild video even though that wasn’t the reason of the video!

[@RoamLyfe]

Hahah! I watched a couple sketchy ones hey!! 😂

[@slarenan005]

Should just throw a shim in the lsd. Not a hard job either. Done it in my gq and front arb locker and works mint. Might have to put a thicker shim if your lsd doesn’t work that great? Have 3wd always till I turn the locker on.

[@RoamLyfe]

Was thinking about going a .55 shim in the back to tighten it up! What size did you go?

[@slarenan005]

@@RoamLyfe yea man that’s the size I went. They’re pretty easy to do if it’s not locking enough. The bloke at road runner told me that .55 will lock a good lsd and a .70 if it’s a worn out

Mint work mate, i just did my front arb locker in my patrol, it's not as hard as it looks just fiddly hey haha. I almost went the autolokka route but was worried I'd stuff it up haha

[@noods127]

hey mate! been watching for quite a while. with coal i see the exhaust poiints directly on the tyre... wouldnt this heat the tyre up more than the others causing uneven wear? and maybe moisture on the tyre too?

[@RoamLyfe]

Yeah I do want to change the setup a bit with the exhaust, main reason I want to is because it makes the wheel really dirty within no time.. mignt look at a rear exit!

The crown wheel only goes on one way no need for punch marks

The punch marks where for the end caps as they are setting the pre load on the crown wheel! The caps are very important that they go back to the same location!

[@EVERYTHINGOVERLANDANDUNDER]

i have an auto locker in my 80 series front... works great, makes a bit of noise on full turn... my biggest hate is that when your hubs are locked in and in 4wd high gears... the steering fights me, does get annoying

[@RoamLyfe]

Yeah that’s a good point!! I’m hoping it’s not to bad, will he a bit of a learning curve for sure! If it’s annoying we will swap it out to a manual locker!

[@EVERYTHINGOVERLANDANDUNDER]

@@RoamLyfe yeah mate, lokka are cheap as, great for what they are. But I'll be swapping mine out when i win tattslotto

[@Robert-cu9bm]

If it's making noise your backlash is wrong. When set up correctly, they're very quiet.

[@blakewalker677]

Nah need to leave some of the stuff ups in, it’ll give us more confidence 😂

[@Nick-sd7um]

Keen to see your thoughts on the lokka. I'm considering one/detroit auto locker for my GU as I've heard a lot of people swear by them over air/e lockers which seem to break.. P.s. when rebuilding your swivel hubs source the heavy duty inner bearing seal in the hub and the trail safe axle seals. They shit all over the oem seals which just leak and break easily letting in water and forcing you to tear everything apart again in no time. Edit just watched vid whole way through and saw you got the right axle seals good stuff.

[@RoamLyfe]

I’m bloody keen to test it out! The research I did see that most people where very happy with an auto front and a manual rear setup! Yeah I definitely got told about those inner seals! Glad I went that rout 🤘🤘

[@einfelder8262]

I have a Lockrite autolocker in my GU, best mod of all. Just do it.

[@Nick-sd7um]

@@einfelder8262 yea pretty keen. I figure if I'm going 4wd'ing I'm literally doing that so why screw around with switches. Some will say it can cause wear etc but I just don't see how that argument stacks up.. The only issue I can see is if you catch yourself out on some dodgy angles and pop a cv

[@einfelder8262]

@@Nick-sd7um The autolocker doesn't cause wear, nor does it cause CV damage. I busted a hub once and had to travel the full length of Fulton's Creek Track with only one front driving - pulled a bit to the driven side but still got me out onto Walhalla Rd. The only issue I have found is when reversing uphill on full lock, as when going around downhill switchbacks, it can wind up. Solution is to come off full lock to reduce load on inner wheel a bit then all good. Note that this will also occur with a switchable locker, which may not release if you switch it off under the same load.
