Hey all.
Just moved to the mountains and believe I will be driving on half pavement / half ice for a few winter months out of the year.
I have a 95 xj with the Chrysler rear & Detroit locker and a D30 up front with open diff, but I just bought a used Aussie locker I was planning to install.
I'm having second thoughts about putting the Aussie up front as it probably will not drive nicely in 4WD on pavement and will probably break free on the ice.
Am I correct in my thinking? What would be the best setup in which I could get up and down the mountain to work safely?
BTW, the roads are snow plowed daily so its not like I have to drive through 3 feet of snow, but the black ice is deffinately present and is what I'm worried about.
Thanks!
