lsd vs rear locker.

[surfenstein]

now the truck is nearly on the road,i would really like to have some fun offroad with it.(two wheel drive i hear you say.dont do it.) ok so i might get in to trouble with it.but what i would like to know is would i be better off getting a rear locker,if so where do i get one and how hard are they to fit.or do i just stick with what i have lsd.

i think it would be pants offroad in mud etcin 2wd! - too light at back
even with a locker

ive found 4runner rubbish in snow in 2wd mode, unless boot full of stuff to weigh it down (even with mud tyres)- think of BMW's in snow/mud!
ive sat on farm in mud with both rear tyres spinning before on easy terrain, but pull transfer lever into 4wd and it moves again!

mmm.i know the truck is a hell of a lot lighter now,i was kinda thinking swamp boggers ,lower tyre pressures and a locker just to help out,but i dont know if any of the advantage of a locker over lsd in my case,i know what they both do but what is better.

Have you spoken to Tony about his old V8 pick up he was running a Borg Warner auto box with a Toyota transfer box on the back to keep it 4wd . I know you have stripped the front running gear out , but it maybe worth thinking about a while later once you have run the Surf for a while .
