e-locker by Eaton.. love it.
I was doing some major rock crawling in Tennessee with the national club and only saw one guy break a tie-rod. Up to this date I have not broken a rod. I believe you should not force your truck into anything. Never force steer the wheels when lodged against something. That will certainly guarantee failure. Always roll your wheels before stearing.
Instead I always use BTM or CTM (continuous torque modulation ) CTM Works by keeping the RPM's at around 1,200 to 1,600 and allowing your truck to move forward by modulating the brake. This will give you perfect control in most conditions. The purpose of CTM is to prevent one wheel spin and allow your wheels to have a steady amount of torque. Be aware that if you ride your brake to hard and force the rpm's you run the risk of breaking a half-shaft. I know by experience!!!!!
You should find a spot where you can practice CTM and perfect it with your truck.
This is why the locker reduces the amount of CTM the driver has to execute. You will still use the same technique with a locker but not for the purpose of preventing single wheel spin. Just for the purpose of controlling your trucks forward momentum.
I could go further but, out of time.
