Turning radius

I know there isn’t much turning radius when lockers are engaged and I just go straight for now a couple times a week just to help them engage faster. I am going off feel and it’s very tough to turn. Like I said I am sticking to keeping it straight but just curious what kind a turns y’all can make with lockers engaged.

Depends on the surface. Muddy, slick, rocky, hard packed. Muddy or slick, not problem in turning. Everything else, You're going to have problems. What i do is to leave the front unlocked until I need it.

Thanks for the tips. As I said I am trying to engage lockers a couple times a week but I am driving grassy area so still taking it easy. I plan on saving the front locker until I need it. Hopefully it engages quickly if I get in a jam.

Why are you engaging it a couple times a week?

I had talked with the guy from Able components about a locker bypass but he said he isn’t making them for the new ones. Told me they work better now and suggested engaging lockers frequently and it helps them engage faster.

Yeah, like most people never engage them. Once a week is more than a bit overkill.
