Re: auto lockers
But when you front is locked, even offroad your steering can be VERY stiff
and difficult. Better to have something you can unlock and make those tight
turns with.

Re: auto lockers
No problem, just unlock one, obviously if it's hard to steer you
have plenty of traction.

Re: auto lockers
Nick,
This is patently false. Even if the front is locked, turning is easy IF the
tcase is in 2WD.
If offroading, then you simply select 2HI and you can instantly steer again.
And, if you need 4WD, and you are locked, having the steeering be tight
isn't much of a problem.
I get it, you are talking about a spool on the front. I am not sure I would
want a spool on the front, and I have to question why Bill keeps bringing it
up as a suitable solution. I can't imagine how a spool on the front would be
any fun at all. I could be wrong here, but I doubt it.
