Mr 350 bloody ChevOriginally Posted by DeeJay
I mentioned to someone on the day that a front locker can make a difference most of the time but in some situations- not many- you are better off not using it. Also bear in mind your steering won't co-operate with it locked in. At least with one fitted you can experiment.
Geez that blue Landie tray made that hill look easy!!!I've decided im gonna shoehorn the 351 cleveland out of my f100 into the Disco (I wish ), your vehicle is bloody sweet. When i've got my diff locks on the steering is very heavy but I only notice it when i forget to turn them off after getting through whatever mess i got myself into. Bear in mind though, before i got the 37s and only had 33s I was gettin hung up in the middle of the vehicle, Diff locks did not help. They will definately get you out of most situations but keep in mind you they won't turn you into a tank. You need 4 inches of lift and 37 inch muddies for that

yeah, but the toyota doesn't AKAIK have ETC - a defender should be able to do the ramps without lockers.The ARB guys have a Toy with lockers which they drive on their ramps to show how they work so thats a good example
They drive it first with no lockers engaged then again with both on and makes an amazing difference
Toyota doesn't equal a defender
AT REST
Hmmm my Defender doesn't have ETC either
What's a locker cost, fitted into a salisbury now ??

I loved my lockers to but, chops made it to the top first attempt in his D1 no locker

What I do have though,,, is some mighty fine tyres,,, M/T MTZ's, 31x10's on offset rims. I am finding these to be very good,,,
Adam and I are out that way again this weekend, so I get to try them some more,,,

I too have lockers and go places others with lift kits and m/t tyres cant go,
I did attend this meeting but too know the enjoyment of being able to crawl around easily while others are screaming there cars and not making the attemp or just making it.
I went camping a while ago with a mate with a 6 inch lifted patrol GQ mud tyres and a mate in a 2005 defender td5 2 inch lift bfg goodies and me in a disco 1 tdi I went places they did not even try and go let alone get through places I breezed through the only thing is they wanted me to not use them, I said why would I not use them I have them not my fault you do not have them fitted on your vehicles so I continued to take it easy around the 4x4 park.
