Default need advice form the 4x4 experts
here is the situation....there is an area in SW texas that i need to have a vehicle ..the area(desert) is sandy and rocky...obviously a 4x4 is what i need...
HOWEVER...I was able to score a 96 geo tracker 2x4.
question...I am wondering...if I Locked the rear end...would that give me more versitility than a straight 2x4....and if so what would i have to do to "lock' it and what would be the disadvantages....as i will have to travel black top too.
thanks
rasta

Locker will give you two tires spinning together and thus better traction. On black top it will click when turning and you will hear it because the locker "unlocks on a turn" I have heard they can be unpredictable on the road so I went with a mini spool in my tracker and love it. I have not since parting out my tracker put the rear axle under my samurai with it. But either way a locker or spool will def make your offroading better.

IMHO, if you are traveling over uneven terrain, you'll still want 4x4.
