does a rear locking diff matter?
For 99.99% of the population: No.

Hey everyone I'm about to jerk off.
For 0.01% of the population: Yes.
>>29125697If you're doing the type of off-roading that retarded people enjoy, it comes in handy. If you're just cruising trails, splashing in a little mud, or daily driving a vehicle, no, you'll never notice the need for it.
>>29125708Unironically the least important to me. I rarely listen to music when driving
>>29125697if you need it? so much you cant imagine ever going without it again. if you can choose, front will make even more of a difference offroad but it also means you cant just tow in rwd and flip the locker on and off while at speed. i tried so many variations of this, front and rear, lunchbox, lsd, locker, torsen. the ones that gives best control offroad is a front locker.2wd actually means 1wd4wd actually means 2wd2wd locker actually means 2wd4wd one locker actually means 3,5wd
>>29125898This.There’s few things more pathetic than watching someone in a “4x4” spin 1 wheel per axle. What fuckin clown came up with the idea to make sure the wheel without any traction got all the power. What a great idea!Lockers are probably second behind tires and maybe ground clearance in ensuring you have a safe and enjoyable off-road adventure. Personally I’d stick with a rear locker before trying front but it depends on your Off-road environment
>>29125708Haven't even had a radio installed in over a year. The amp failed in the factory one.
>>29125700/thread
No, a torsen is fine for on-road activities
>>29125700Counterpoint: frozen snowy shitholes and plow trucksI use mine often in winter but never in summer
>>29125697I live in a mountain village about 8500 feet in ekevation and I use mine every winter to drive to and from the bar. But you probably will never need or use them. Kinda like every truck fag in texas.

>>29127126This, and also rutted out giant pothole forest roads that can make you lift wheels in ways that get you stuck. I was on one of those recently, and it wasn't even some super obscure remote road, it was 30 minutes from town and accessed a popular trailhead.
>>29125697Not until you get in a situation where you're loading opposite corners especially in a slick situation. Then it become quite useful.

It can, depending on the situation. I pulled up a stump with my F250 once, and the locker helped. The truck is RWD and I had to position it so one rear wheel was on the pavement while the other was on the grass. The locker kept power to the pavement tire instead of the other one spinning out and tearing up my lawn.
>>29127158Based and gov-bomb pilled. I'm glad my truck has one though it'll always be unnerving when it thunks into action. Thankfully the rear end feels naturally locked and will always leave 11's on gravel, snow or wet pavement without activating the locker. I'd like to upgrade to a better locker but I like the current feel for drifting.
