I would lock the rear first, more than likely you'll want to SAS the rig if you stay on Yotatech much so if you lock the front, you'll be losing money. That is if you plan to SaS.

My auto locker wears tires fast. But it unlocks in turns. A welded rear doesn't. Save your money for a while and get a Lockright or Aussie. I have a Lockright in the front and really like it so I don't think that a selectable locker is mandatory - but thats my terrain and style.

I have BIG TIME issues getting my twin stick to shift from 4WD to 2WD on the trail - seems the tcase binds up instantly.

I would hate to have to rely on that to be able to steer.
