Soon to buy rear locker. Effects on ATRAC with it?

[cbielat]

I am buying an ARB air locker relatively soon. I have a 2011 SR5. I was reading through threads regarding lockers and ATRAC but haven't come across one stating whether or not there are any effects on the ATRAC when a locker is added. I just want to know if by adding the rear locker, will the ATRAC still perform as usual or not? What happens to ATRAC when the locker is in use? Link me to the thread if there is one depicting my question.

They don't know about each-other but effectively ATRAC can be used at the same time as the rear locker because it simply won't brake the rear wheels when the locker is making sure that both wheels are turning. I know harper talked about it in his thread or another Q regarding using both systems. However, when locked out in the rear it feels like ATRAC is only working with the fronts which allows you to retain the turning abilities. If you lock the fronts ATRAC really isn't going to do anything with both diffs locked. However that is really only recommended to get out of a very tough spot and then to disable the front locker.

Thanks for the info. I won't be getting a front locker anytime soon. I think the rear is sufficient enough for what I do. It's easier to compromise the front ifs cv's with a front locker. I'll keep that open for now.
