Exactly, once you've go the hang of doing this, ive found the car actually turns as good or better with the lokka in sand, in "all" situations ive come across !

It's fun and provides for some good yarns over a cold sherbet but helps to carry a spare pair of jocks.
One way around it if you are on clay or other really slick surfaces is to unlock one FWH.
I normally unlock the drivers side because it has the shorter axle so less twist and be a lazy prick it is closest hub when I get in and out.
Others have already explained how to drive on sand so won't discuss that any further.
If you have auto hubs on clay, well, best of luck

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

How would a lokka in the rear and an elocker in the front work?

I would just put the elocker in the front and just rely on the LSD in the rear. I would not put a lokka in the rear unless you wanted your tyres to squeal around every corner and and have it sideways in the wet around every corner.
If you really want both I'd be going through lokka in the front and the elocker in the back.

well after having all sorts of issues with my 4wd engaged and trying to turn corners, steering becomes extra heavy it was pointed out it may have a locker in the front diff. How can I tell for sure without opening up the diff centre?
