Sorry, but your wrong. I live in ohio, which means lots of snow in the winter, and during the summer i go to fairs and what not and fairly often end up in some mud, I've never gotten stuck yet, but I just wanna get sumthin to help a lil. I know multiple people with lockers and whatnot, and have seen them go thru drifts the 4x4s got stuck in. I'm not expecting it to be invincible, just improving some. And from what ive seen, fishtailing only becomes a problem when you do sumthin dumb.

i would disagree and say that a 2wd needs a locker or LSD far more than a 4wd, since its the only drive axle they've got.

nothing under 500 except a powertrax. LSD's, full case lockers, etc will cost far more for parts + install.

2wd + powertrax takes me most anywhere i want to go. when it doesn't, 4wd gets me out of those few places i shouldn't be.
