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.

Re: auto lockers
A front spool would probably be handy in heavy sand or mud, but on any other
terrain an autolocker would probably be more user-friendly.
