When I was playing with the traction control on Temeraire it was noticeably more violent than I was expecting, almost like it was trying to bounce the car past the obstruction. That said, at the meet while I didn't get crazy, the electronics didn't appear fire once, however on previous ventures out to parkwood in Dreadnaught some of the same obstacles were able to cause wheel spin. How much of that is down to the automatic vs manual Goodrich vs Bridgestone electronics vs open diff I have no idea?

When we were at Aldermaston I specifically took Gerald (littleJimny) out to test all the modes.

I was also surprised at how much energy you had to feed into the traction system in order for it have something it could work with. This certainly meant bouncing or leaping out of obstructions instead of a gently crawl. Mind you, the electronic systems on my first range rover sports were very similar and needed energy in the system to work although the latest one has real diff locks.

Agree that although the TC on the Gen4 works well, it's anything but smooth. The computer doesn't anticipate the wheel spin, but reacts to it and is very 'lurchy'. A proper locking diff would give a much more progressive experience off road.

Does anyone know of any auto lockers made for the Gen 4 Jimny?
As far as I know Lokka’s and Lock Right systems don’t.
Or any good e-lockers out there?

4xfourart.com told me they have lockers for Gen4, one auto locker (like LockRight/Lokka) that will fit the rear diff, and one air locker (like ARB)
