Now my crawler, yes I do carry common items that could bail me or a buddy out, such as axle shafts, drive shafts, brake lines/hoses, gear oil, brake fluid ect.

i love how people have one thing and think anything other then that are junk. and nobody here is talking about a crawler. none of our trucks would come close to one. the guy is talking about extra traction in the snow or mud, not takin it on the rubicon

I don't care for a locker in the snow. Honestly, my '86 is like a tank in the snow. I'm used to starting out in the snow with our diesels w/o any issues. Now in the PSD, it has a rear clutch type limited slip, the type you have to add a slip additive to your gear oil. When the LS activates in the slick, it'll shoot your rear end out to the side. I've gone almost completely sideways on the highway the first time it activated. I've had my rear end swing out a few times after, but nowhere near as badly. Perhaps a limited slip in the front would be the best option. Maybe an Eaton instead of a clutch pack system.

The Auburn unit I mentioned above doesn't have clutch packs. It has a conical clutch, alot like Laycock/GearVendors overdrive unit.
