Re: Which locker?
Lol u guys have a answer to everything.
Mainly use the suzuki 1-3 times a month for green laning or pay to play sites, but i do drive to them (normally 10-60 miles each way)
Cant really spend £1200 for a couple of arb lockers, thats silly money on a toy. But there must be a happy medium for about 50p? lol
What about this, I weld up both front and rear diff then get free wheeling hubs and lock every wheel when i get to the pay to play sites?

Re: Which locker?
Ah if you aren't using it on road that much then go for a lockrite 
I use mine on pretty much a daily basis so would probably get bored of the handling characteristics of one.
You can get the chinese air lockers for about £800 for a full set including the compressor though

Yeh front and rear.
No I don't use it on the road, but doing as little image as you do I can't see a problem in using them.
There awesome, and if they are setup properly you won't have any issues with them.

Re: Which locker?
Your FWH idea will only work if you drive there in 1wd and I'm not even sure you could fit them to the rear.
Could weld your front diff and run front FWH and have a permanantly locked front diff when you get there. Not good for steering though.
Probably not the best idea.
If you are using the truck on road and can't afford the ARB either fit an unlocker like the lockrite or find something else to spend the money on.
