Anybody care to comment on your experience with lockers vs. limited slips.
I was pricing a locker at a drivetrain shop and they strongly suggested a limited slip unit because we live so far from any good wheeling places that 99% of the time my K5 is on pavement. I'm not interested in mud (too bad, I could probably get into that a lot closer to home) just vertically challenged trails. Has anyone had experience with a limited slip that couldn't cut it on the trails? If so, what were the trail conditions? Or how about limited slips that did the job fine?
Just for reference, Tellico is about as close for me as any other decent place to go wheeling so that's where I'll probably head when I do get out, and whatever I buy I'd want it to be able to deal with a least some of the more 'fun' trails there.
M.C.
