I have seen the value of a front diff lock whilst climbing a undulating steep
hill..... but are they a hinderance if they are engaged whilst tackling a
sand dune and trying to keep on a tight line?... Because the car is fishtailing so much?

If you get air lockers, you can turn them off.. Detroits, and lockrites that are always engaged are a PITA....
Lockers are nearly always an advantage... NEARLY... Front end with locker greasy up
hill can pull the front end around.
In sand, driver ability is always in question, as for fishtailing, Dont see why it would anymore than normal 4wd...

Pain in the ass Ray91. Unless Truckster found a new type of locker on the market. Agree totally with Truckster on this one. If you have the power down, diff locked, no choice. Arb air locker better option.

Thanks Goodsy I should have guessed. I will also agree the ARB is better .Sometimes it would be good to unlock the diff , but I dont have a problem with the cheapie lockrite
