i have seen turning brakes for them. you can use them to apply brakes to the spinning wheel so the torque is sent to the wheel with traction. i have seen two types. one is plumbed into your brake lines and works hydralically and the other replaces your parking brake, giving you two handles that operate the brake cables independantly. i think i have heard of an lsd though.

And you didn't think i could make it through?

Hey Tom
Well my nieghbor was once heavy into Bugs and is a strong believer in the turning brakes,says they get you out'a trouble and are lotta fun.
Though he recommends beefing up the diff's first for longer life if you plan on doing it alot.
If there was a posi for swing axles I bet they'd be big sellers.
