[mudski]

Was there a group buy happening?

I figured it was bag the china lokka thread.
@ BA you engage a locker before you need it,
not when you need it then its too late and puts big stress on "stuff"
Then just idle your way through

I would be more inclined to use it on a "case by case" basis. eg. look at the track, decide to try without locker (tbh can still/is a lot of fun) and if you get through, sweet, if not, flick the locker on. But in other cases, you might look at the track and decide you want the locker for the whole thing.

I do get what you saying, but a locker can also get you in trouble, not just out.

Having said that mate I have found when using the locker over not using it you can tackle the same obstacle at a lower speed putting less stress on other components and also going slower your not throwing the car around too.

For sure, no doubt in that at all. Really just comes down to terrain (obviously) and how you drive. I dont go thrashing through the tracks majority of the time, cause i dont need to and i dont have a locker (other times is cause is fun) Tossing up whether i actually want 1 or not. (thats a lie, of course i want 1 :P)

You know you want one!!!!
Ask BA about breaking a control arm on a particular hill because to do this hill he had to go second gear and floor it. All the bouncing around ripped the arm off the diff. Did this same hill with the locker and yep, nothing broke.
See this vid. Of course the camera doesn;t do it justice.BA I think has footage of the same hill when he broke his car.



and back down the same hill..... This you can kinda see how it was...

that's the beauty of a locker, agree case by case or track by track assessment.
Had double lockers in my last 4x4 for over 15 years, 100% agree with Mudski I idled everywhere
and made it. No track damage no repair bill at the top of the hill either,
love them just waiting on my Pro-locker to arrive

Here it is... excuse the old rookie mistake from Georges mate of holding the phone the wrong way!!!

The loud crack you hear is my lower control arm breaking and having to ratchet strap it back for a long slow drive home!!
