I have a small dilemma, I've got to choose what to purchase first a front ARB Diff Locker or a winch still tossing up what winch to get.
My question to you all what would you get first.

I have found since having the locker I almost never use my winch but they are a must have for so many reasons....
I would get the winch first, you can still get stuck with a locker, and with out a winch getting out might be difficult.

I have both but I would go a winch. A winch will get you out of the poo more times than a locker will. But as BA stated, having a locker you may use the winch less...
With little experience and no front locker, I have already utilised my winch.
Runva winches are a great choice.

I rarely use the winch for myself......but I would get the winch first, as it will help in more places ......a locker won't generally ensure that you will get out of a boggy hole, but the winch will

If you drive solo then winch if you only head out with mates diff lock and other recovery gear
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
Ok I always go with mates never hit the tracks on my own so I was heading towards the air locker, you all making a fair point.
I have had a winch for nearly a year, I have only used the winch to remove a tree that didnt need to be removed, I just wanted to test it, I have been locked for a long time.
