Diff lock on SFA

Suli · Post by **Suli** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 5:30 pm

Guys ...

I have the 91 SFA without a diff lock... and on the axel twisters is where I get bollie from my buds in there "other" bakkies...

The rear diff is the sealed type... so how I do get around this small problem, without having to change the diff for one with a lock on it ???

One which helps (if your handbrake is working) is to engage it when you're experiencing the slip. This will effectively break that wheel and thus function like a difflock.

That handbrake theory is a load of kark, espesially when your drums are wet.

SFA Hilux's have a handbrake?

Used the handbrake successfully on JohanM's Lux this weekend. He has a heavy duty setup upfront on his OME and needs a blade removed or a heavy bumper and winch added (or a piece of railway track

) as his Lux is a bit lazy to flex.

Had the same with Bulldog. Removed the third spring (the one with funny ends) and never looked back :)

Bennie het jy nie dalk so swaar stuk treinspoor wat ek kan vooraan vas sweis sodat hy kan Flex nie

....Dink net hoe lekker gan ek dalk `n taxi of twee kan rondstoot as hulle indruk...

Hey Johan,

I've got a solution for u... I have an original solid Hilux bull bar lying in the back garden, never mind the 'treinspoor'... this thing is like the whole 'trein'

, it will solve your issue immediately, let me know...

Bretton,

OK please post me some pics of the unit that you are talking about!! I might just be interested in it if it can solve my problem.

Just fit a locker and trying to ballshait yourself that the handbrake works as a locker. The import axel is a good unit and easy to fit a locker into.

Hallo Johan,

Bring daai Ferrari vir ons, ons sal jou blades voor verwyder!

Groette,
Louis

Sorry verkeerde raad

Het jy nie die imported diff nie.(As jy die diff housing(3rd member) moet los skroef aan die propshaft kant). Post 'n foto.
Ons doen specials die maand op lockers R 13928, dis 1 locker, compressor en tyre kit met installasie,nuwe 50mm carrier bearings by R400.

O ja, as die handbriek nie werk, vervang die handbriek kabel, dis nou 'n maand dat myne darem werk.(Die enigste SFA met handbriek in Gauteng!!)

Groette,
Louis

As jy nie baie geld het om ARB lockers in te sit nie , dink aan Lockrights +- R3500-R4500 of Detroits R7500-R9000 stuk (hang af by wie jy dit koop). Ek het Lockrights voor en agter in my Lux. Nie 'n dag spyt nie. Kontak Dieseldog of Riceburner op die site, hulle voer lockers in. :D

Lockrites or Auzie lockers are fine in a lux, even with 33's.

In my opinion good Hilux drivers don't need assistance from a diffloc! :D

I will be installing a diffloc soon...

Why not fit lockers to the pram? The kid can join you on trails.

I have said it to many people before, first learn to drive your vehicle without stuff like lockers and learn to drive proper lines etc, otherwise you will never learn proper driving technique, once you are happy the limitation is the vehicle and not the driver any more then you can fit this stuff, otherwise you will become like some drivers who need lockers and crawler gears etc. to compensate for lack of driving skills

Riceburner · Post by **Riceburner** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 6:01 am

Where I drive you need lockers and cawlers. Come wheeling with me one day and we can see what an expert driver you are.

Like when we did Rusties and you being to scared to follow Benny up Superman with your duel locked crawler gear DC you had... :? :? :?
