Rear locker or both?

[timhood]

Others will chime in. But I’m sure less capable vehicles are driving around your area in the winter. In my opinion yes. Just because I believe a 4wd should have all the options within reason and budget to take full advantage of being a 4wd.

4WD and AWD are separate from front and rear lockers. The Bronco handles much better with Advanced 4WD (like AWD in typical crossovers and SUVs). So, I recommend A4WD. But lockers are for off-roading, and if @freebob is a "light off-roader," he won't use it. I do lots of rock crawling in Moab and am a "use it if I have it" person and I don't use the front locker much. The rear lockers is absolutely helpful a lot.

You need that ol' lock in the front where I play, wet, mud covered rocks most of the year, silt covered when not, sometimes add that ice on top.

This really does seem to be the sweet spot.

That's what I bought. It will do more than I'll ever want to do.

My 2 cents...rather have a front locker and not need it than need it and not have it. Driving trails, I have found occasions to use it, but I could have probably done without it by taking a better line. Still, it's nice to know it's there.

Put yourself in a moment when your seriously stuck in a snow bank or something. You've tried all your special gizmos and GOAT modes to help get you out, but you're still stuck. Will you look at that blank hero switch on the dash and think, "I'm glad I saved a few bucks on that locker"? Other than possibly pulling your butt out, I believe it gets you the better M220 axle in place of the M190, and will also probably add a few bucks to resale value.

Yeah, because of that I purchased a Badlands Sasquatch and to piss them off more it’s a 2 door manual.

I wanted to replace my bronco with a new one. Was think of just a black diamond with rear lock..I do light offroad and live in a in the snowy arera. .So do I really need a front locker.?

@freebob if you can afford it… and you want a front locker buy a Bronco with one , life’s too short to screw around on simple things.
