I need locking diffs.

Got stuck last night, in a steep grade creek, one wheel went in the mud, the rest of the wheels were ON THE GROUND, but, I couldn't get out because the differential sends all the power to the spinning wheels, had to have a fooking Dodge pull me out, how embarrasing.
Anyone else got an embarrasing 4-wheeling story, or am I just a fool. Also, what is a good site for a sturdy brushguard especially made for the Toyota Pickup, I have seen lots of sites with all sorts of ones that are one size fits all, or only for huge Dodge and Ford POS trucks.

the other night i hung up my diffs, but there was barely any mud, which my tires didnt even get to, so im gonna get 33s and lock rights . but after our F150 pulled me out, i went through a river which the angles were INSANE talking about 70 degrees, just dropped it to low 4 and crawled out, then got through the smart way.... NOT through the ruts.

my dad got my brush guard from the same place as his lift, which was somewhere in l.a., but this thing was in an accident, where the other truck got ten thousand in damage, and my truck was d.i.y. $440

check out performanceproducts, they have a tube one, but i saw the arb bull bumper in there too for 86 and higher. which is gay nothin for my 85.. sorry for that

Performance Products has a lotta Toyota stuff like that.
As for locking diffs, theres lots of options. Try www.off-road.com/toyota
You could literally spend years reading about ways to mod your 'Yota for off-roading on that site.
