From my experience of lockers in soft sand in the beachport Robe area, all the lockers did was make it harder to dig out once you got bogged lol.

Yeah, I'd also agree with that. Once you start "digging in" with the sand you are pretty much done for. Then you'll be as you've said "digging out". Lockers can probably help you dig in that much quicker.
One of my mates thats done lots and lots of sand driving seems to have a knack for stopping before completely digging in. He'll often back out when you wouldn't expect or often only need a small push.
I've got no discipline and keep thinking maybe I can still do it. Then in no time I'm dug in deep and gonna need more serious help.
Still think in general the lockers are more advantage than not.
Thanks, Cameron
No Patrol now - Just good memories!
I've got an auto lokka in the front with standard LSD in the rear. The lokka made a huge difference reducing the speed I could tackle obstacles. In sand I've noticed that there was an improvement in forward progress especially when hitting mogals and one of the front wheels leave the ground. I don't just stop like I did before with an open diff, it keeps moving.
In regards to turning. I have found it only very slightly heavier steering but its only noticeable with 35s on. In mud it wants to go straight all the time so you have to adjust your driving style and back off a bit when wanting to turn but you will pick it up quickly. In sand there's not really a noticeable change to steering except when you go full lock and give it a little bit off right foot. It will almost turn turn a complete circle on the spot due to the front wheels being locked together and this is in a lwb.
