It is my opinion the tracition control in the 120 and the 150's is about 85% of the performance of lockers.
For most people TC is probably enough and the money can be better spent on other things in a build up in my view. BUT if you are chasing that last 15% , and especially in terrain like this and mud they are great.
I locked up went up the hill straight after fozzy and noticed I could walk it up in a more controlled fashon and it wasnt searching for grip then finding it like the traction control prados.
Shows you a TC prado is really a very effective 4wd though.
