Is it useful to have a locked differential when climbing a high dune? This was mentioned by one Carnity member when driving his Patrol up on the second attempt when he was successful using a locked one.
Prado offers only a central diff lock so how much difference is it to the Pajero’s options?

As per my understanding in a locked differential the torque would wary so as to transfer to the tyre with the maximum grip i.e resistance thus it should be more effective.Am I correct?
However, I don’t know if locking it while side sloping would be detrimental.

 

@Atif - this might have been me. 

I did it as a trial as:

- half way up the hill,  although traction control was off (4H, Sand) - kept losing power on my first 2 runs.

-  on my last try - I recalled seeing the below charts somewhere, where it mentioned that VDC/TCS is off when rear diff is engaged. It worked, engine kept up the revs.

Not sure if it's only my y62 struggling to switch off the TCS completely....

Thanks @Wrangeld for great drive today.

Fantastic location! I really enjoyed it.

Great you signed up for Friday's drive, please can you let us know 

• Please share your vehicle details - Make, Model, Year.
• Do you have any prior off-road experience?
• Confirm your vehicle has front and rear tow hooks / eyelets.

You will need to have viewed the introductory videos (links above) before the drive. Please also make sure you have with you a tire deflator and tire guage. You will need these. If you have a offroad flag as well that would he great.

We will end the drive near to a gas station where they have a compressor, however, if you have your own bring it along as it may be quicker than waiting in line.
