Quite a lot of different opinions on this subject, I may settle for a winch and leave the lockers until a later date.

Oh- One question I have is in regards to a Centre Diff lock, can someone explain why would I need a CDL if I had my front and rear Diffs locked. (prob a very easy answer..lol)

Because the CDL allows for a 50/50 distribution between the front a rear diffs, instead of 70rear/30front or 60/40 i'm not sure of the ratio front to rear power delivery.

The CDL is basicly replacing the old way of locking in the front hubs and selecting 4H or 4L.

Your basicly selecting 4WD from inside the cab.

I might be wrong, but imagine you sitting on top of sand dune (on rocks, etc.), front wheels of the ground, on back wheel just in touch of the top of the ground, so 3 wheels out of action. If no lockers, no TC, you in trouble. Even with lockers and TC could be not a lot of torque on last wheel. CDL can be helpful here, because 50/50 power goes to axels and "grounded" wheel has more chance to move car from current position

Well this raises more questions for me then..lol Does my RR NOT have a 50/50 split front and rear? Also shouldnt a CDL be the 1st thing ppl buy instead of Front and Rear diff locks? My reasoning for this question is surely you would want 50/50 split before you then fit diff locks?

I think your mixing up the D2 with other landies, the reason owners of D2s are getting a CDL is because they weren't in the D2 until 2003, your Rangie on the other hand will have one, if it doesn't then it has a Viscous setup instead.

Depending on what model Rangie you have, will depend on what setup it has, but you won't need a CDL unless the one on the Rangie doesn't work.
