Hey Guys.....
I've got Front & Rear Auto Lockers in my little Vitara..... Having the rear is great offroad. It allows me to go that much further in 2WD, but onroad it is a PITA, especially in tight spots like carparks, etc. Roundabouts have never been a real problem as the little vitara doesn't have that much power to be a problem.
The Front is great, but I have broken a couple of CV's fairly easily but the CV's may have been stressed b4 and since replacing them, I haven't had a problem to date. I did learn a few things from the breakage.... 1 being when 4wdriving in tight corners, be careful not to apply too much pressure on the CV, try and reverse a bit and straighten up a bit to relieve some of the tight angle/stress on the CV. Rock crawling is another situation where u need to be a little careful on how much pressure u put on your CV's....Always be mindful of your CV angles (ie: Droop and turn angle) when applying power....
I don't know how strong the Navara CV's are (they're obviously stronger than Vitara CV's) but I know it's something u don't want to have to do on a regular basis....
just my thoughts though.....

that may have
