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.

Re: auto lockers
Hi Jeff,
Detroit Lockers do some weird stuff, like throwing the vehicle back
and forth as the released wheel scoots around, usually sending the car
straight up doing a pirouette, then end over. Jennifer's is a classic
example: http://www.xws.com/jbjeep/jenroll-shortversion.mpg So you see,
they're not at the top with me to see the view.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O

Re: auto lockers
We see on heavily traveled trails holes dug by spinning wheels
exaggerate the obstacle course. The spool just doesn't react, switching
back and forth like a locker, causing a bounce many can't recover from.
