Not sure I want a locker in the front diff though...... Tends to make cornering on slippery stuff interesting. I was thinkin' one of the thorsen style limited slip units. (gear driven, like in the hummer.)

It doesn't engage unless you are giving it gas. Really interesting locker. If you have time read about it in their website

Limited slip would work both off and on road, lockers aren't that great for on-road. On demand lockers (electronic or air) are $$$$. Maybe worth it, but only if you're off road often or on bad weather roads that are never treated. I'm in the rust belt; but would only need to shift into 4x4 about 3 to 4 times a season when I used my 04 as a daily.
