I have to disagree Tony, people have been putting the Pathfinder LSD in the front of their GQ's for a while now with great off road results. One of our club members has done this and I have witnessed first hand how well it went compared to the double diff locked GQ'S on the same trip. (lot's of Nissans in the club!) The main thing he tended to do was unlock the hubs religiously when on firmer pavement.
Cheers Brad
The thing with putting the LSD in though is that you'd do it so that you COULD stay on the firm stuff without disengaging 4WD (which is the point I was trying to make).
Personally I can't see the point in putting an LSD up front. The LSD, if a wheel lifts, is still going to drop power to the wheel on the ground and spin the one in the air - the ONLY difference between an LSD and an open diff in traction terms is that the LSD will, on a solid surface, allow you to go around a corner without binding (which is why we all have LSDs in the rear).
So, if the LSD isn't going to improve things traction-wise on the track (it will reduce binding on the firmer parts of the track) and we still need a locker, why not just get the locker to begin with?
Some good posts..the Lokka's are always locked..keep that in mind guys , they are only unlocked when no pwer is applied..so on the bitumen they will make a car steer wide and be heavy..even when on the dirt people report the same.
The air lockers or the Eaton E locker is the way to go if available
