Front lockers in a Gq Pro and Cons ?

[MudRunnerTD]

If you haven't already driven with one, I think you may be surprised how much steering you get with an E-locker. A couple of times I've been on hills requiring 'commitment' , with rock steps, & twists & turns. Switched on the e-locker at the bottom & just drove up & around the twists & turns. Not the sort of terrain where stopping to switch off the e-locker was a consideration, especially with the Tvan in tow!

Something I did learn since we've been away was in very tight stuff where maximum tightness of steering was required, was to change to 2wd to get around the obstacle in question. I suppose most people know that, but I'd never been told , or read, to do that. The leaf sprung GU utes do have a significantly larger turning circle than their coil sprung siblings.

Not sure I understand what you mean Cuppa? Do you mean you put it in 2wd instead of turning off the elocker? Or your steering is tighter in 2wd than open front diff 4wd? That would surprise me a lot. I dont understand how this is possible actually.

In relation to Traction and a front locker.... front locker rocks mate. Air Locker or E Locker is the same thing. Go for it. The fact you can punch it in and out is the whole idea.

On a slippery hill you loose traction so the locker will let you steer. In tight low speed you can turn it on and off as you wish.

My GU has a rebuilt LSD rear diff and an Air Locker in the front. The rear LSD does most of the work and the front only gets used when it is needed. Not much but bloody awesome when you push that button.
