better to have a button and control when to lock the diff is what i think i do alot of driving in crappy conditions and woudnt want to loose control over something i installed.
still cheap deal to bad the wont make one for rear
If they did make one for the rear, you'd have to buy an open diff carrier to install it with. At that point you might as well buy an ARB IMO. I think the cost would be close by the time you bought an open diff and had the rear axle set up properly so that it didn't blow up in a month...
I'm going to have to do some more research I guess. This snow discussion is making me wonder. I've heard and read of Wranglers running them in the rear in northern New England. I'm wondering how much traction is needed to make them unlock to turn. I would think in something as short as a Wrangler if it didn't unlock when it was slippery on a turn, the back would come around pretty quick. I don't know...if it's that bad, how fast are you going to be going anyway?
I'm thinking it's going to want to stay locked if power is applied, but not when you're coasting. Unless you're trying to powerslide, you don't power through a turn anyway. You coast or maintain speed. Especially when it's slick.
