Has anyone heard if there are front lockers being made available for the H2?

Sorry to bring an old topic up...but can you guys tell me more about your rear locker?? Is it clutch-based or gear-based?? Is it a durable unit?? Does it engage immediately when you switch it on??
I like it that more and more SUVs have the optional rear locker. Very cool.

Sorry Steve, but he was very concerned that the other s found their way to the bypass and safely through the logging roads (no ruts or rocks) to meets the rest at the top. Thanks Steve for leading the way through the bypass and protecting the rest of us

I have Detroit Lockers front and rear. In other words fully locked and all mechanical. I'm not to hep on air / electric lockers, or fuel injection for that matter. If I can't fix it with a wrench, hammer or my favorite tool, the on-board welder I don't want it on my rig. On the Dusy-Ershim trail a few years back I welded a broken locker solid, turning it into a spool. Without the welder it could have easily turned 3 fun days of rockcrawling into a week of crying and stuff.

Good deal! I'll get right to scheduling another run with Steve.
I know that you guys have never heard of the BC 109 trail. I'll prerun it soon. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to have one or two of you prerun it with me. We might have to construct a few bypasses, but it would be fun!

Steve:
I am that guy who thought that T/C worked like front lockers. The 1st time I tried that "nasty" hill, I had T/C engaged and I got 3/4 up and just spun and hopped.
After backing down...dis-engaging the T/C - getting up alittle more momentum, it seemed like I made it up far easier....in other workds, I made it up. Picture to follow. By the way Steve, where are all of the pictures of the event last weekend?

John...are your axles always locked? or can they by unlocked? Just curious....
I'd have to say (from what I've seen) that a driver has to learn to use the TC...not gas into slippage and blow-past the "window of detection" or sensoring capability too quickly. The TC can do a lot more then most drivers realize, you just have to understand how it works and work with it.
still, I've still seen situations where the gap between pure-locked and TC can make the difference. TC (in my opinion) only goes about 70% as far as a locked situation.
Given the option, I'd definitely get a front locker, but drivers would really have to be trained and experienced to properly utilize it.
I won't say who.....but one of the H2 drivers was pushing the TC2 button thinking it activated a front-locker-like condition. Another guy thought the rear-locker button locked both front & rear: Lots of inexperienced and poorly informed folks out there.
And John...I know where this is going....don't go there!

Ditch the front locker idea. I was speaking with Mike Sabarresi, Cerritos Hummer Service Manager and H1 Racer. He said that a front locker would put far too much stress on the front end. Enjoy the truck you have!

Ok, I am confused. Gong up a big hill with loose dirt, do I hit the t/c button thereby the orange light on the button going on or simply leave it alone, put it in 4lo/lock back diff and gas it.
BTW - I am sory ofr large picture. Originally it was 763 KG, I compressed it to 185 KG??? How do I do it smaller with HP Photo Print??
BTW - It was nasty - 2/3 up there was a rock ledge about 8-12" tall preceeded by rutted sand.

Hey Allen! When you were gassing it up that hill (congrats by the way) your rig was making quite a bit of noise. Sounded like your transfer-case chain skipping. Is everything working OK?
Might want to check it out before wheeling again.

I don't know if you would ever really need a front locker for the trails in socal that an H2 would fit into. Maybe in the sand or mud. From what I saw last weekend the traction control works pretty good!
If you are having trouble making it work correctly I suggest that you badger Manny (OLE YLLR) on this board for personalized instruction, cuz he definitely knows how to use it!
By the way Manny. If you have any takers on the lessons, I get half.

The guy spotting the first hill (and his wife) got tons of pics. His dad in the big red Cruiser took lots too. Mike (white bronco) has tons of video and my wife took ten or so. I'll have 'em for ya soon.
Is there another cover pic in there somewhere?

Sona:
That is a great reason to have the air suspension. Just pump them up right then. Otherwise, a $40 air compressor will work.
Now that I took the time to type this I am going to post it, but I think your just razzing us judging by the number of your posts. Joke is on me
