Why would you need these on a FFRR? This car will go anywhere and further than most people can imagine as it is! If you're getting into lockers etc, then you want to do some serious things and should maybe have bought a defender!

Mostly becuase no one really done it !!! But I plan to make it into a real expedition wagon as it's bloody comfy so long journeys would be awsome and well they are capable but if they were perfect offload like defenders lr wouldn't have given them a rear e locker in the newer rr's my view is I want them for incase I need them as I'm doing an England to Asia trip as some point in the feature, so far it's got plans for custom bumpers and rock sliders under tray and half expedition half flat roof rack plus roll protection. |

Not just easier fitting the locking diff from a supercharged in the rear?

Razorric. I really wouldn't bother. Spend the money on an IID tool and a decent set of offroad biased tyres. I've seen the following fatty in action and it didn't struggle at all as the TC cuts in, locks the spinning wheel and off you go.

When driving in deep snow I was not impressed the performance of TC. It activates only when one wheel has already lost traction. I compared the difference with my -99 P38 before and after ATB diffs in both axles and difference was notable. TC had hardly any work to do after those were installed. Wouldn't hesitate a minute to have ATB diffs in my L322. Only if I could find them. -08 3.6 Vogue

I thought the centre one locked on its own if it needed to.....

I believe that the TD6 had different ratio axles to the rest of the L322 range... So that wouldn't be as straight forward as it sounds... Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I would imagine if you fitted a diff locker, this would confuse the hell out of the TC system! Maybe even causing damage?

It shouldn't get confused. There would be just be a lot more traction, so the the TC would not sense wheel spin so often & therefore have less work to do.

Old thread but what can the IID Tool do to improve off-road traction? I have an '11 I am trying to build into my wheeling rig. Already have an xlifter and 32ish KO2s but I came here looking for locker solutions. |
