Need A Diff Lock In Kimberleys?

NO

Top end I have had a diff lock in the back of my 100 TD for a year and have only engaged it 5 or six times. I travelled extensively through the Kimberlys and never used it once.

No...most of the Kimberley major routes and tracks you can do in 2wd!!

Roads are just rough.... barely need 4wd ever. Even steep and rough jump-ups have enough traction. Naturally a 4wd clearance is needed usually, though the local indigenenous members of society seem to only drive Fords and Holdens, except for the community 'cruiser. So........ difflocks no need.......... ahhh unless it RAINS!

Diff locks not required in the Kimberley. Good tyres, two spares, keeping the speed down and not overloading are required.

I 've driven my work Patrol all over the Kimberley and never needed anyhing except good clearance, correct tyre pressures and low range in the hard stuff.

I agree with everyone else.. No, it's not required. I don't have one.

Spend the money buying a second spare tyre and rim.
