Just left the 4x4 show in Melb. OL price was $1495 for the unit $450 to fit the front and $350 to fit the rear.....show special

Sounds like the best price I have received too mate.

All fitted up & ready to go! $1920.00 fitted with 2 new bearings. Going to try out in a couple of weeks @ Abercrombie River N.P.

I have a LOKKA and haven't installed yet... Anybody got comments on them?

Quite a few on our side have them and are very happy. Really soft sand has been the only thing to cause a negative response so far but it wasn't a real negative more just an old guy who likes to whinge

Bang for buck a fantastic traction aid!

Rear! Carry a slide-on camper & have air-bags so lost a bit of articulation. PM sent re: installer.
Not the cheapest option you can fit, but we only live once don't we? You can spend $1400.00 on a set of tyres & shred one or two trying to get up a hill so I can justify it to the wife by saying it will save money in the long run!

Went away last weekend, loaded up with slide-on, & headed for Abercrombie River N.P. Got a bit of rear wheel slip on a couple of smaller climbs so when a bigger one was encounted, I hit the switch before I started the climb. Absolutely brilliant bit of gear! Straight up with no slip & didn't have to belt it into the hill to clear any dips. First time locker user & think it should be an option from the factory. .

sounds good to me ill crackin open the piggy

Soft sand is primary reason I'd get a locker can you elaborate on the above ?

Can anyone suggest where I could get one of these in Perth? Fitted? Reputable fitting?

had my elocker for the last year or more and think its the best thing ever. had arb leaky lockers on a gu front and rear and had the rear seal replaced a few times. others say oh that shouldnt happen it must be the installer. well its the arb installers fixing it. also my arb compressor broke its crank latley after 2 yrs of pumping tyres every 4 months. all this is why i wanted the elocker. push button and off ya go no rattly compressor no crappy air lines. i dont get how soft sand is a problem for them thou...........

I think they are referring to the Lokka, auto lockers.

ahhhh that makes sense.

After trying ironman suspension (which only lasted 2 weeks) and hearing other horror stories I wouldn't buy anything of ironman again. Even if it was 1/4 of the price.

Nailed it
Electric is much more stable and relianle then leaky lockers.

Had an ironman e-locker fitted to the front of my GQ patrol a few weeks ago. It's awesome no air lines/leaks like the air locker in my hilux which has started leaking out of the compressor . Ironman outsourced the fittment to a local diff shop down the road then wire it up themselves cause they don't have the facilities to dispose of used oil. Best thing is 3yr warranty gotta be happy with that. Never going air lockers again that's for sure.

Iron man locker is just a harrop USA product rebranded (and modified intact to be a bit stronger) , so while some IM products may be lacking , the lockers are top notch.

Love mine
