Leon,
Hi, sorry i didnt reply directly to general list, but i wanted to offer my 2 cents without starting an argument. I am presently in teh same situation - I am upgrading out of the Feroza (which has given me the taste of getting into this sport, ande I will miss it) into a GQ patrol.
Being a memeber of the Gold Coast 4wd Club, there is alot of advice on offer, and the first thing everyone has told is - "Don't get Lockers yet. Learn to drive it and learn its limits first."
I admit, Lockers would be more beneficial then pure wheel travel. But, i think knowing when you need the lockers would be more beneficial. I have watched some excellent drivers at LCMP use thier lockers sparingly. Coming out of a Feroza with limited wheel travel, and going to GQ, I need to learn how to drive the car.
The way I am going therefore, is some suspension upgrades, protection bars, and tyres first... then lockers at a later date.
Anyway, that was my 2 cents, it wasnt meant to be a knock in the teeth or anything, and I hope i dont offend you or anyone else reading this.
Thanks
Heath
