Hey all,
First post. I tried looking this up, but could not find anything definitive.
When it comes to deep snow - like driving up 1.5 feet of fresh snow on your driveway - are lockers (a la Rubicon) better or would 4WD with limited slip differential (a la Sahara) be better?
I understand that when traversing the "usual" snow conditions like roads that have been plowed but that are not completely clear of snow, the LSD would be more beneficial, but what about when you are trying to get your car up a driveway (i.e. driving straight) after a major storm that has not been cleared at all? I suspect the lockers may be better here...if that is the case, how much better?
Also, not looking to hear about winter tires, etc. I get the benefit of winter tires as I run them on at least two of our vehicles during the winter.
I'll be ordering a JL Unlimited in the coming months (waiting to see if the prices come down a little)...leaning towards the Sahara but wanted to see if the Rubi would be of any benefit to me (who will do very little off-roading).
