[damo4surf2]

hi , ive got me a v6 surf 1992 , im looking at ether putting an lsd in or a lockright locker diff . had a play in the mud how it is and it just wont do , bar going to an air locker , what would you do ?

what lsd do i need ? ive got a g254 .

what are the lockright locker diffs like on the road ? im gessing there real good off the road , just for driving around town is it real bad ?

sure you dont have a lsd already? lsds are shit, go the lokka, just have to learn to drive it. with mine if im going round tight corners i clutch it and roll throughother wise it kicks you as it locks up, offroad = awesome

[damo4surf2]

yep im sure .

go lockrite front helps stop breaking cvs find an lsd for rear but as toymota lsds are shit get it shimmed

[T-Boon]

Lockright is the bizness, put one in the rear and its easily the best thing ive done.

[damo4surf2]

lockright locker it is , easy enaf to get from the US ?


can you get an lsd for the front ?

[Filthy4x4]

From what ive been told the hilux lsd are absolute rubbish, you get them shimmed up nice and tight and they go back to one wheeling after a few trips out.

I would go lockright or air locker front and rear

All the LSD's i`ve come across have been rubbish (that said i`ve never tried to shim or fix them) I know some people on here have had results though.

Your diff is diffinately an open diff 4 spider assuming its still got the original head in it.
2
Ive got an autolocka in mine..its great ...it does have some minor downsides tho.
You have to be very carefull when driving on shingle, snowy, icey road as the rear end can lock & you go a bit sideways.
Mine doesnt click much but i have adapted my driving style to suit it as per there recommnedations in the book they come with.

Ive never had an LSD so cant comment on them.
The lockrites for 2 & 4 spiders are different so make sure you get a 4 spider one.

You mean Surf LSD's are shit.. I know my terrano one is bloody awesome, would never think of spending 1k on a locker. But yeah, 90% of people I've heard talking about surf LSD's have said they are shit, My mates one rips 1 wheelers in the mud ahaa

[damo4surf2]

thanks for the help , im going with the locker in the back , still thinking about the front .

[hosehustler]

I see you've decided on a locker....hope you get one from Tim (suzolla) a hassle free NZ'er and at a price you'd pay if you imported from the USA yourself

i put a lokka in the rear of mine and it was the best thing i couldve done driving round carparks can get abit clicky but as tallsam66 said you learn to drive with them rather than against them,
