The short answer is no...... however, it depends where you go and what you do, generally front lockers will reduce your turning ability in most situations (including sand), a limited improvement may be noticeable in very soft sand when travelling "straight" ahead.

The exception to this is if you fit a auto lokka, if you have this type of lokka in the front, with a small change in your driving style, ive found it can actually be a benifit in most sand driving situations ive come across.

i have an auto locker and yes it is a bit harder to steer but i havent had any dramas as yet not that i do a lot of sand driving.

Correct in my opinion! Love my LoKKa has been a big difference in the sand dunes at loveday 4wd adventures, slight change in driving style and away ya go

I have front and rear and for me no real difference in sand driving but that's just my experience.

I can`t see any benefit for a locker in beach sand, front or rear. In saying that, I`d still go for a rear locker, no matter how good people say the Patrols LSDs are.

yeh that old chestnut, good lsd in rear and front locker is a better option than just a locker in the back imho.

X2, otherwise all the Ti owners with just a factory rear locker, would be getting "further" than those of us with front locker/rear LSD ? , i dont think so !

Horses for courses. All depends on how you look at it. I`d rather push a weight with a rear locker and no front locker, than bust a CV with a front locker and while having a LSD whilst pulling a weight. If I had both diffs with lockers, Id only have the front one on if I know I really need it, driving straight and or minimal steering to limit the possibility of the CVs busting. But you lot knew that right? Having a busted CV and rear LSD isn`t going to get you far now is it? Just my thoughts and looking at it in a way that one option could cost you more money in repairs, than in another way of doing the job.
04OFF - The reason why the Ti has a rear locker is because it`s the next model up and why would you pay for an LSD, when a locker is a better option?
