Not sure I agree with this at all. Now, hear me out. First of all,, I've been wheeling with a lunchbox style locker in the front and busted a hub before. Drove it out with "3 wheel" drive and experienced no problems whatsoever other than a small bit of torque steer. The auto lockers -...

East TN just west of I-75 in Scott County. This general region and to the south. http://tinyurl.com/krbtrails

The basic thesis of what I read and shared was Truetrac rear and locked front. Better behavior from the Truetrac on the road and the ability to lock one hub if needed for on road traction (functioning basically as an open carrier). Off road crawling for us in practice is spools front and...

Only a bad call if you don't have lockouts. Even with an open carrier, a vehicle operates differently than a 2wd when it is in 4wd. I also have an AWD Astro with the NP136 transfer case and the front is squirrelly. I hope to move the front axle from my parts Blazer to it before winter so I...

Well, my 85 CUCV is Detroit in rear and a Spartan locker in the front. I don't mind conversation and differences in opinion, but I am not too keen on rude behavior. That's all. There is a fair amount of debate on the issue, especially when considering different terrain, vehicle lengths and...

Well, I'm 58 and have been driving on and off road since I was 16, so yeah, I have no real world experience. And my post CLEARLY said "I have heard" and asked for thoughts. Your first response was one of sarcasm "I hope both the rear tires point in the same direction also." But most certainly...

My point about the front tires pointing in the same direction is that that because they both turn to point into the curve, the outside wheel turns closer to the same speed as the inner wheel than the rears do since the rears are fixed perpendicular to the axle. Since the point of rotation in...

I've heard that for mixed driving you're actually better off with Truetrac in the rear and detroit style locker in the front. Reason being, rear on street needs easier differentiation than a detroit and front can be locked on one side or the other for street driving in snow or both sides for...

I considered looking for an ambulance or service truck, but there were times when I wanted the top off. Plus, with what I had, I could just open the doors and slide them out (by removing one retaining screw on the hinge) and have cover from sun for a day of riding, but still be able to see for...

I had a 1 1/2 height aluminum shell for mine. It allowed covered storage from the top of the bed to the floor with pull out drawers. The three walls were doors and could be opened up to allow covered, yet open space for base camp items and then my roof-top tent on top of all of that. It made...

I like it fine, but front and rear use is important. I have a front and rear receiver and use mine on both. It doesn't *look* as intentionally CUCV specific as your's but it is functional.
