I choose front first for two reasons:
1. I had a D35 at the time of purchase.
2. I was worried that locking the rear would affect my on-road driving. Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't, but a front locker is completely invisible on the road (in 2WD of course). I don't even know its there.
I'm thrilled with the traction improvement with my front locker. I found that in rocks it was great to have both front tires pulling the truck up and over rocks and out of divits and holes. It was a HUGE improvement over open/open.
Maybe a rear locker would have given me the same traction improvements, but at least this way I still have an open rear for the road.
Eventually, I'll get a TruTrac or a selectable for the rear.
