Re: Broken Diff lock knob

Great, thanks..I'll be on the look out.

OK, in keeping with the thread its probably a good idea to ask how to exactly to engage the front lock... I remember being told you need to twist and turn the lever then drive straight until it engages and the light turns on, am i right? i cant remember :roll:
