Does anyone have a hard time turning with a lunchbox locker say like spartan in the front while offroading in 4WD?

yeah it's annoying at first. it wants to go straight and you have to fight a bit to turn but you get used to it. I've gotten into the habit of running the trail in 2wd then sticking it into 4lo whenever I reach an obstacle. 3 point turns on the tight stuff while. that being said, absolutely love having a front locker. it's worth it

Put smaller tires on it and it will turn easier
You'll get use to it, and if not, you'll have strong muscles.

Helps if you're moving a little bit while tryin to turn the wheels. Just sittin there can be a bear.

I find the opposite. It's more noticeable for me the faster I'm going
