In each axle of your Land Rover, the differential transmits drive equally to both wheels. The problem is, when one wheel and you get stuck. So a diff lock such as the air actuated ARB locks both wheels solidly together, so that they receive full power equally at all times even when there’s one wheel up in the air.
Compared to some, it’s not a actually that bad on the road the tyres are noisy, as you’d expect, but it handles and goes well enough for me. The tweaked pump helps as well as the low 1.6 ratio transfer box that was lifted from an early diesel 110.
The Defender however, built primarily to be very capable off road. And it succeeds. With the immense traction offered by the Simex tyres and locked diff, it makes easy work of any obstacle we put in its way. It’s also incredibly stable.
