An excellent idea.I'd love to have diff lockers but it's normally a very expensive exercise,but certainly do-able. For those of you that remember Eric (EMZ) he has some info on this on his website where he's apparantly done it to a 2WD van. Not sure of the address now but it's something like... www.mytreeway.com/EMZ He posted it once when he was still talking to us so I checked it out.I was curious to peek thru a window into the world of EMZ after all his interesting posts over the years...;)
