ARB rear locks

Hi

I have a question to LC J120 owners - do you add ARB rear diff locks ? Or is the central diff lock enough?

I will buy soon J120 and I am now thinking about it.
I have no experience of driving a car with central lock, it was always front and rear.

How LC J120 behaves in mud and sand?

Center diff lock just allows for differential variation in a full time 4WD on pavement. Pressing the button for offroading only eliminates that, and makes it a typical 4x4 with open axle diffs. Adding an ARB will increase offroad traction dramatically over an open rear differential.

I saw this video and thought about this thread. The youtuber notes that his Harrop e-lockers disengage when he rolls backwards. The Toyota E lockers do not do this, but it should be considered when considering aftermarket lockers.

My Harrop E locker seems to take 1/4-1/2 of wheel spin to engage as the video suggested. No big deal...love it!
