G'Day Bob
Have enjoyed reading through your build thread.
Try hard to achieve the above, it's the one mod that makes the most difference, I use my lockers all the time and like I said in the other thread today, if you can make it happen, get a front one too. If you've ever driven a fully locked Hilux in Low 1st or 2nd on 20psi tyres up a loose, scrabbly, muddy incline like Billy Goat Bluff or South Basalt Knob, you'll know what I mean. It's a fantastic feeling being fully locked, an awkward track is relatively straightforward and enjoyable. Without lockers, it can be unpleasant. On Billy Goat we were behind a group of older unlocked 4WDs including a nice 5th Gen Hilux, and they all really struggled with heaps of axle tramp and arses bouncing around throwing rocks everywhere. Eventually the Lux blew the rear diff, in a really bad place, big brown trouser moment. Ended up going down backwards a fair way which wasn't very enjoyable I suspect!
