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.

Re: auto lockers
A front locker or spool isn't going to play much of a role in hopping
around, then spinning to the side and rolling over. The rear locker or spool
will play a role in that scenario, but not the front.

Re: auto lockers
Those holes are usually the result of Open Diffs, and occasionally a Limited
Slip. A locker does not switch back and forth.
An auto locker is really an auto UNLOCKER, and it the tires can slip on the
ground, the locker will remain fully engaged and dig identical holes on the
left and the right, just like a spool will do. The variation, of course, is
that the dirt is identical and responds to the tires the same way, but
whether the axles is equipped with a locker or a spool isn't going to be a
factor in this.

Re: auto lockers
With a spool up front, Jennifer's left front wouldn't have gone
from free wheelin' to lock instantly starting the front up the bank.
That's of course my opinion, you may stay at the bottom of the hill.
