From what I have read, the spider gears are the weak link in the R180. Since the Lokka replaces the spiders, it SHOULD hold up. Also, the Lokka will unlock without throttle input. So as long as you aren't gassing it holding the steering wheel hard over, again I think minimal effect. The steering is going to want to straighten out so you will be fighting it in a U-turn in 4wd.
Just try to give more space when turning around (I understand this isn't always possible) and limit throttle input through turns.
So Lester is right, I am going to try an ARB as late as Feb of next year. If you want to try an auto locker in the rear, you could try the C200K Powertrax. Since we already know the spline count and diameter are identical odds are it will work. Again we are in the R&D phase here, but I think this could certainly be great for those who do/plan to take their R51's off road.
