cheap locker? or crap idea?

[KL570]

hey guys,

so i remember someone throwing an idea around/they knew someone who had done it...

the idea is, in the front diff, put a full spool in (thus locking the diff) and use the freewheel of the manual locking hubs to engage/disengage a fully locked diff in 4x4?

please be gentle, im a complete rookie and have no idea of the inherrent advantages or disadvanteges of this idea hahaha.

best off with an auto locker so you keep most of your turning circle. it is was full locked you would need to get out and unlock a hub just to turn a corner. I have seen and driven rigs with CIG lockers its a pain in the arse

The cheaper option isn't always better mate,

mmm true. i was reading up on them. seems that a few guys have done it. makes a good diff lock, just have to get out of the car ALOT to make it workable....

If you want a diff lock you don't have to leave the the drivers seat for then go a air locker or an E locker & have the best of both woulds. Yes it is the more expensive path to take but you get what you pay for.

X 2 with Patch, there's a bit of a knack driving a 4x4 with auto locker especially one in the front
even more so if its CIG. better off saving and buying a Pro Locker or similar, then its either on or off'
best of all you can go around corners. You'll then have a compressor for air up duties, could even fit a small
tank to inside of chassis rail to run air tools etc

yeah sounds about right to me... mmm looks like ill know what ill be asking for for christmas

Put a Detroit Soft Locker in the front of my GU. No real vices but you know it's there. Understeer but only minor and only if you sink the boot into the loud pedal into a corner in 4wd which you really shouldn't be doing anyway.

They're pretty reasonably priced even with USPS Airmail from Just Differentials in the USA.

I wouldn't bother going the extra cost for air or e locker.

I do a lot of touring and I couldn't be happier.
