[QUOTE="Lamar, post: 807343, member: 16675"] Dear group; I've run quite a few different TADs in my day, except for the ARB and the Eaton E-Locker and I always seem to return to limited slips. I am currently using the Detroit Electrac front and rear on my Wrangler and Toyota LSDs front and rear on both the Hi-Lux and the FJ-40. And speaking quite honestly I prefer the limited slips over the lockers. The lockers are nice in situations where total traction is necessary but overall limited slip diffs provide adaquate traction in practically all situations except for full-blown rock or log crawling. I've found that those situations are fairly rare and when they do occur, I just unspool the cable for that extra bit of assistance. In the mud the limited slips actually are superior to lockers in that they don't allow the rig to become nearly as squirrelly on wet hard packed clay. I've had my Wrangler do many 360s and more in kinds of situations such as this. For an all-out locker, the ol' Detroit is very difficult to beat and those things are just downright tough. I've never had much luck with any of the lunchbox lockers. Your friend; LAMAR [/QUOTE]
