    That's correct TOD only operates in high mode and only front to back not side to side for individual wheels.
    - Is there a time, when off roading, when it's better to leave the VX in "high" and let the TOD do the work?
    Yes, if you want to go fast or simply don't need the low gearing and engine braking.
    - When the VX is in 4L it locks the transfer case but because the diffs don't lock, the right front wheel and the rear left will still spin freely if you don't have traction (for example if the front left wheel and the right rear are on the ground then the other wheels that are in the air will spin and you'll go nowhere?)
    That's correct.
    - Only the rear diff is LSD?
    Yep.
    - Has anybody ever done a writeup for installing lockers on the VX? (I did a website search but found nothing).
    I haven't seen a write up specifically for Isuzu but I do have an install leaflet for installing Aussie/Locka lockers. Here's a link:

    Thumbs up

    TOD is fine for dirt roads or other light off-roading, but 4LO is needed for rock crawling, etc.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.
