I PM'd Warmonger on this and he said that
he had typed a large writeup but AF 'died'
when he tried to send it.
However I just got back from a 4x4 101
traing class on the Rubicon that used ARB
lockers and we generally used the rear
lockers first and the fronts only to get us
up some tough ledges. The fronts usually
had to be switched immediatly after getting
the front tires over so you could turn turn.
(This was on a solid surface (granite) - I
have been able to turn my ARB's when
climbing with the X but that was on loose soils.)
On our last really DIFFICULT climb, I thought
I had both lockers on but after I got the top,
I found out the rear one was off. My tires
were slipping about a third of the way up
but the fronts eventually caught traction and
pulled me up.
