Engage Rear Locker in 4-Hi on H2?

[Rockyot]

has anyone come up with a switch or rewire so that i can engage the rear locker while in 4-Hi?

Can i ask why you would want to. Not a good idea cruisin down the road to be locked

I also have to ask..... there is really no reason to engage the locker other than for crawling through the very rough stuff.

In the sand at Pismo Beach it would be nice to have the back end locked up. No need for 4-Lo. Locked works well in the snow too. Maybe it is just me??

Actually locked up is worse in the snow, tends to want to fishtail. My jeep is full time locked in the rear and tough to keep straight when in snow

Thanks for the heads up in the snow. In my Rubicon it was helpful in the sand in 4-Hi.

It will also cause the front end to shove badly at low speeds while turning.

Most H1 and H2 Hummer have a feature where If you require additional traction without engaging the HI-Lock or Lo-Lock simply place your left foot on the brake then give slight power to the right gas peddle. It will transfer traction to the wheels that have traction and lock the wheel that is slipping.

Well thats half right, the H2 is equipped with open front and rear differentials with the eaton e-locker in the rear only. The H1 is equipped with torsen differentials front and back which allow power transfer with either driver input using the brakes or automatically if equipped with tt4, later models of the h1 were available with lockers front and rear as an option
