SR5 #8 = LSD rear.pnueve said:Are you already locked in the rear?

No I dont do really intense off-roading, but going on unplowed roads in 4' of fresh snow to go back country snowboarding, would be a lot easier with a locker. I only do it a few times a year, and the LSD in the rear is better for me during the rest of the year. Whats "cvs" and why would it snap?pnueve said:Is the wheeling that you do really that intense that you need a locking front? If you lock the front you will snap cvs like no tomorrow.

Not 4"(inches), 4'(feet). On top of atleast 1'(foot) of packed snow.AfterShock said:You really shouldn't need a locked front for snowed roads. I'd imagine your 4wd plus some better tires would give you enough traction to get through even more than 4" of snow.

But what do I know, we surely don't get snow here in LA![]()
Thats what I was thinking. As far as traction issues, have you tried chains? They are considerably cheaper than a locker.NESW20 said:CV's = constant velocity axles
they're not as strong as solid axles, since they have to move in all sorts of directions, but for what you plan on using it for, i don't think a front locker would do any harm.

Not on this truck, studded tires are holding up ok. My buddys old 4x4 Ranger got stuck a few years ago, even with chains on, no idea how he pulled that one off. Thats what got me thinking about it in the first place. Besides, even if I decide to do it, it wont be untill the warrenty ends.pnueve said:Thats what I was thinking.
