I do. They're not THAT hard to steer, but I only lock mine when I need it and unlock it when I don't.Quote:

Made it up first go tho so they must have done something . . .
My apologies, time poor & lazy to scour this full thread. Have only ever used ARB airlockers since the early 90's as they were then factory proven tested well beyond all others. Old Cruiser's we ran would explode every other drivetrain component bar our lockers. Not competing with mates these days but have now F/R ARB locked the Trol up. Have heard too many horror stories of permanent/auto lockers freaking out whilst scrabbling over creek crossing rocks & shail.

But this is about Auto lokka's, I had one briefly in the rear of my troopy
but chewed out the drive line very fast, being the easiest to access I opted for the ARB locker
in the rear, and later when the front needed a reco I went for a Pro-locker
"MOST" being the comp guys I knew runing 330plus RWkw's.Quote:
