Best diff for ice
I just sold my 1989 4Runner with Detroit lockers (like an hour ago). Now what I noticed was turning sharp, even when creeping my back end would slide out very easy. This scared me at the time. Now I'm looking at an '87 with no diff work done.
I'm from the freezing/3" of sold ice and 5 foot walls ot huge snow drift North Dakota.
I want to NEVER get stuck. (I brag about my Toyotas to much to get stuck)
Now I do a lot of into driving with some slight off roading but it's the massive 6 months of ice that gets me nervous about locking my gears.
I need some good ideas on what diff to buy.
Post them ideas please

I'm interested in this myself-I want to build my truck for 'wheeling, firewood hauling, and hunting, but my DD is a 2001 Corolla-I have a 40 mile (each way) commute and it doesn't matter whether it snows 3 inches or 3 feet-I have to make it in. Usually they do a pretty good job on the roads around here, but there are times when I find myself driving in 6" of slush at 35/40 MPH. Is that the kind of situation where a lunchbox locker would be a problem? I have seen others who have posted that you just have to learn to drive them in the slick stuff...
