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 :lol: :lol:

Bang for buck a fantastic traction aid!
i know it's not a hilux but really.....WHO CARES!! We're all here for the same reason :D

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. 8-) .

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?

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

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.

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
