I have a front locker and a decoupler - I would sooner install a decoupler
with a solid shaft before I would install a front locker.  The front locker
is used only when the going gets tuff or your really stuck - it is very very
hard to steer with the front differential locked.  On sand I would rather
have 50/50 front rear distribution of power with a decoupler installed
before I would want to lock up the front wheels.

Subject: [syncro.org] FRONT DIFF LOCK MERITS & AVAILABILITY

Now that the decoupler thread has quieted down some.....could someone please
explain the pros and cons and costs and availability of a front differential
locker?  I'm more inclined to keep a stock VC since the only off-road I plan
to do is on the beach.  But a front locker might be useful in sand, even
with the tires aired down.
Thanks, Anthony
