so i really wanted an E locker up front for my pickup ifs but as far as ive heard they dont make em and i dont want to get the whole setup for the ARB air lockers (i want a selectable in the back) so how bout an e locker in the back and an aussie up front for a daily driver, how hard is it on the front end when the hubs are locked? thanks

its not easy on them i assume u get snow and ice, being in alberta. the steering is goin to suck ass in the front in the snow. i would put the selectable up front. and auto in the rear.

oh really? i thought being that both wheels being powered instead of just the one would drop the gas milage but if it wont then maybe i will do that. so you figure aussie in the rear and a selectable in the front? has anyone ever put an aussie in the front?

i thot an aussie locker was like a ratchet. when power is going to the differential both wheels are powered thats why both wheels will spin when you get stuck but when you turn the inside wheel 'ratchets' to compensate for the different wheel speeds. just to clear things up. thanks
