There's a lot of rumor and misinformation out there on the forums. There is nothing accurate in the above quote. Feel free to hit us up anytime if you have questions about our products or company history. :wave1:

Here's some background on pricing and quality. In 2012 when we moved manufacturing to the USA, we also priced out manufacturing in China. The Chinese made parts were 56% less than the USA made parts at production volume. The Chinese factories we vetted could not source the 9310 steel we...

For the pricing question, here is our best analysis. The folks selling Lokka are 'dumping' on the US market. We have perused legal options on this as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy) "In economics, "dumping" is a kind of predatory pricing, especially in the...

Hi Folks, Cora from Torq-Masters here, hope I can clear things up, there's a lot of rumor and misinformation about Aussie and Lokka out there. The Aussie Locker has always been owned by Torq-Masters, we introduced the Aussie in 2003. There would be no Aussie Locker if not for Torq-Masters, the...

Check out these folks on Facebook, all running TORQ Lockers. Feel free to hit them up for reviews. They have been running our prototypes and have the most hard core miles on the TORQ Locker thus far. Cam Eutermarks (red Rock Bouncer) Ricky Barrette (Yellow TJ on 43" stickies) Nate Rcfs...

Sounds like a good build! Good luck at the races!

For our lockers we recommend conventional oil, not synthetic and as heavy as appropriate for your climate. This question comes up a lot, so we've been working on a 'Install in a Box' kit that will provide gear oil, RTV gasket maker and a chart of how many quarts go into each differential. With...

HI Cal, Right now the intent is to keep the Aussie Locker design for the smaller OEM differentials and offer the TORQ Locker for larger diff's that people would be swapping in and running much larger tires on. So we have the Dana 60 available now, the GM 14 bolt is in production and the...

Here's the specs:

A patent is only worth what you can pay to defend it. There's a historic patent case between Lock Right's parent company and Eaton, Lock Right won by a technicality and it cost the company upwards of 2 million to fight the case. When you're looking at an international case, quadruple that...

Hi Rusty98xj, I know this isn't our product, but hopefully I can give you a few things to look for. First of all, your locker should not be engaging in 2WD, or banging, or giving feedback through the steering wheel. Couple more things to check when troubleshooting, from easy to more...

Hi Folks, Cora from Aussie Locker here. Yes, we are a proud national supporter of NAXJA! All lunch box lockers are not equal, while the deigns looks similar, the alloy of steel used and quality control is paramount to the longevity of the gear teeth and overall integrity of the locker...

Checked out the link, this is a Lock Right design, not sure if it's a knock off or a private label deal. Like all things, you get what you pay for. Lower grade alloys, while less expensive, also can equate to shorter life of the locker.
