For all of you who run them in your 30, would you recomend one if the locker is used alot in snowy wet conditions?
mikes offroad said:I have been running an Aussie in the front diff DANA 30 for around two years. I also have a spool in the rear 44 besides going thru rear tires it's great. Were I live there is snow on the ground from Oct to early May. I find all you have to do is drive accordingly. If the intersection is slippery I put it 4hi then when I get going I pop it back into 2wd. No worries.
swbooking said:youll hate a full time locker in the snow on the road... youll be all over the place. Its good in the snow if your stuck but not for driving around town. If your gonna take the time to build it id say wait for a 44 or just do a selectable locker (not an LS either)

mikes offroad said:The one thing that does get a little annoying is when you go to stop at a light. One tire is on ice and the other on the gravel they spread on the roads then the locker wants to engage and diengae making alot of ratching noise. The first time this happened I thought that I had screwed something up. But further research showed it was just the locker ratcheting. But I love it in the front. It will stay there till I can go to a 44 and 9". Happy Snow Wheeling

Having said that what about an Aussie in a 242 in fulltime 4WD. Any comments from anyone about snow or dirt or rain or rocks or mud or sand???
