    Wouldn't that tend to make the back try and overtake the front?
    Besides the obvious impact lockers have on steering.
    Not arguing, just curious

    Makes the rear tend to track straight whilst allowing the front to adjust.

    The rear provides a drag type behavior and holds it inline.

    Going down

    Locked rear only for steering control I assume & I guess that we want the rear holding us back, not the front slowing down & causing the rear to want to pendulum around??.

    As for the 9000lb my previous Defender TD5 had a 9 on her when purchased. I only had to use it once to drag my sorry arse up a step logging track after I reversed into a wet erosion hump. I had it double snatched but she still seriously struggled to get me out so I was concerned a 9 was a little light on considering the new bus will be heavier when fully set up.

    Regards Chris.
