Default Lockers?

So now that I've addressed my starting and stalling issues it's time to have some more fun. Question is I have a d30/c8.25 in my 93 country which should I lock first if at all? Benefits? I do a lot of wheeling by myself or with the fam but I'm out there by myself. I just don't want to risk getting stuck with my infant in the car. Cheers

Number one rule in wheeling is to never wheel alone. Many reasons for this.

With that said, lockers get you into trouble & a winch will get you out.

What kind of wheeling do you do (terrain)?

A lot of people are going to say "You shouldn't wheel by yourself"... i agree, especially with a child in the Jeep. Anything could happen. I would say invest in a winch first if you don't already have one.

Do Not wheel alone with an infant! that's just not right. it's one thing to put ourselves in that position, but not an infant or small child. anything could happen to us and then the family would be on their own with us as a third leg. however---when done in groups---there's not a better family function that's as educational or fun as 4 wheelin and campin. good luck and have fun!
