Default Re: Front locker.

I am interested in an Eaton locker for my H2.

I read the links above: http://www.trailduty.com/products/eaton/index.html
and http://www.*******club.com/tech/eaton.html

And some questions come to mind. The article implies that the locker can't be installed with an auto-off idiot-proof feature like the rear-locker. That's not necessarily bad - you could build a cage in front of the switch to prevent something heinous. But its not ideal, i guess.

I'm not the worlds most experienced offroader but i'm learning. How often do those with a front locker benefit? Does the presence of the device when not in use add strain to the truck? Will it void my warranty, or part of it? I have a feeling that offroading would, in some roundabout way, wind up voiding warranty in any case. "well, that happened because of the time you ..."

And last, is it probably that my tires would become the limiting factor before need for a front locker? (i have the factory A/Ts)
