While having a front locker is sexy, the practicalities of it are, that you'd rarely use it unless you are offroading a lot. I decided that for my usage patterns having a limited slip differential was a better choice. I added the decoupler on a lark at the last moment. But I figure, with the rears locked, the front engaged, and a limited slip up front, I will have to be pretty seriously mired, if my combo won't get me out. In which case....you get a winch (still not yet in my arsenal, but probably will be by next summer.) |
