Default Locking the Diffs

Can someone please tell me an easy way to lock the front and rear diffs? I'm just starting my pajero build and I want to do things right the first time.

The kit comes with parts too lock the rear diff and on my build I used JB Weld too lock the front diff and its been working well for now hope that helps.

You can use the lockout that comes with the kit in the rear diff and use hot glue in the front so you have the option of unlocking it in the future.

Both are the most commonly used ways to lock the diffs.
