I believe I was mis understood by my following comment.
"Try going down and more import have to back down a very very steep hill that is loose sand or dirt. If your differential is locked steering becomes difficult if not impossible."
I did not mean turning the tires would be difficult I meant that the vehicle would not respond to a steering input much like happens on ice.
If you are backing down a very steep hill with a rear differential locked the only direction you may go is straight regardless where the front wheels are turned. If you start going sideways to the hill you risk rolling the vehicle.
There have been times when my group that goes jeeping we try hills that can not be completely climbed and you are forced to back down.
