Bah, never figured out this lockers = death on wheels idea that folks have. I drive in more snow in the winter than most people on here see in a lifetime and this is my first winter in 4 years without a rear locker in my DD...I miss it.

yeah I was thinking of a good limited slip because I am mostly a street guy. the truck will eventually be a beach cruiser and every now and then see some well plowed roads in the mountains and I drove it again in the mud today in 4 Hi Loc with a vacuum leak I had plugged up and the truck faired better than my friend's 4x4 dodge running 37's and a rear locker ( I ended up yanking him out of the mud field that he dug himself in up to his axles) so I think I'm over the idea that I need lockers, thanks a lot guys for the information

i actually love the lockers predictability in the snow and ice, as long as you mash the go pedal you **should** make forward progress, unless you have no front driveline and its slick as F*&( then the tires just spin. its kinda cool, you can just get out and watch them.
that was only a problem for awhile though

Yeah, I was wary at first but when I figured out that it meant in all those situations where I had one tire in the slick stuff and one on the dry stuff I still had forward progress.
Now with an open diff I often find myself putting it in 4x4 where I would have just kept on going in 2wd without a thought before.
