Same here. I'd like to add that I put it in 4wd for deep snow even before I slip. My philosophy is to use as little as I need, in terms of locking everything up, to give myself as much margin as possible to keep from getting stuck. And that includes recognizing when 4wd hi or lo is the right choice for the obvious places.Seriously? he didn't mention being offroad. No shit, you would use it in Moab, but even then you are going to get some lurching. I was talking about using 4wd on pavement. Obviously if you are on slickrock, you'd be in 4wd low no matter how good of traction it gives because you are likely not on even terrain. But even there it's going to lurch and be hard to turn, etc. Thats the way part time 4x4 systems work.
As for lockers, I use them when I need them. 90% of the time I don't need them. I learned to drive offroad with open diffs. Wheeled for 10 years before I had anything more than a single limited slip. I think part of the problem today is that people get Rubicons and then never learn how to wheel without lockers. Sad.
