And guys, I'm not dumb. When I try this, I'm going to start in my apartment's parking lot. If that is fine, I move on to 25mph streets with plenty of stop lights and signs. If that tests fine, I get on a 40mph road that feels like you could do 80mph on it. Then, if somehow I am not dead yet or convicted of 30 counts of vehicular man slaughter I'll move to 55mph back roads and 65mph highways.

I really just don't see how my rear locker never locks up when I'm turning but you guys keep saying that my front locker will be a spool....it's an auto-locker, doesn't that mean it only locks when one tire is slipping?

The thing is, nobody ever talks about actually trying this. It is always just speculated to be catastrophic. But people said the same thing about running 38s. And being lifted 6" without a DC driveshaft. And not using sway bars.

Now I just need to get an answer to the EFI tuning question I've been asking for a week or better........
Well, I think it's possible that you'll get around with it in the front, but turning 38s in a landcruiser on asphalt with a front locker is asking for damage, imo. If nothing else you're going to significantly increase wear on the front end until you get manual hubs.

Also, I don't know how often you get snow, but I can't imagine trying to drive such a setup in the snow. I imagine it'd be a pretty uncomfortable experience. YMMV.
