--- Quote from: "clbarclay" ---
--- Quote from: "Bigbluemaverick" ---So what we are saying is that for general fit and forget use a pair of friction slip diffs  will be on top of most situations?

and for when they aint get a rope!

Generally...
Friction LSDs are the best for fit and forgeting (which is why a lot of manufactures use them), a true trac (with left foot braking) will generally go further and a manual locking diff takes the most effort from the driver, but will go the furthest.

As for being on top of most situations, over 90% of the time an open diff with a little momentum is enough in my experiance, but then for some people that 10% of the time is much more important.

IMO the best benifit of the lockers is your not going to bust a diff when winching  :wink:  :wink:

they by no means help in mudruns ect ect, as momentom is what you need

best place for lockers is on rocks and very uneven but firm ground

but what i dont get is, if you've already got a factory fitted lsd diff, why not just leave it in instead of messing, spend the money on some other mod that'll be worth while, like a winch  :roll:

changing the diffs for other lsd's isnt really going to improve the ability of the truck IMO  :?

lambert:
After all the input i'm leaving back alone and just getting another lsd for the front.

As for why not get a winch the main issue there is needing to have a custom bumper and not having the workshop facilities to build my own. :D

i aint that familiar with the chassis rails of the maveric.terrano, but im sure a bikini mount wouldnt be hard to fab up

lambert:
They drop down in front of the axle and as such needs back braces so as not to rip it off. So far the best quote is in the region of 500 notes without a winch! :?

extreme90:
what mud tyres you running ?
sorry, i just cannot let you spend so much money on something that really isnt going to give you gain without a fight  :evil:  
wheel spin on the front can be counterbalanced with the break, which is the method ive used on  my 90 for ages, infact i still do to try and stop them spinning even with lockers in

look at other aspects before spending the money, i just feel your going to fit it, then be dissapointed to find your not really getting any further  :(
