I guess it is because when we are at truckhaven we play follow the leader and Tbars4 has a front locker and Its always fun to be leading and go through the really tight switch backs of the ditches. You could hear Tbars4 compaining, even without the CB
. Of course, I think he can hear us laughing.
The other possible issue with a front locker is if you can't control your urge to use the skinny pedal your gonna break hubs and u-joints. R.J. was doing that with his quite a bit (at least it seemed like quite a bit).
I'm personally going with a Trac-lok up front since I can't afford a selectable locker which would give you almost the best of both worlds. I don't think there is an eaton electric locker available for the d-35 though.

EDIT: Fixed text above.. I thought the eaton was LS when unlocked, but it appears its open when unlocked. I could have sworn it was LS, but oh well
