Fully locked in the snow would definitely be dangerous. Mine are welded, but the terrain is a bit different down here. I can verify, having lived in the Midwest for 29 years and having driven in plenty of snow, that fully locked is definitely not a safe thing. It frequently wants to travel in a straight line in mud even when you want to turn. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Unlocking one hub helps, but what is the fun in that? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> If'n you can do the LSD for the front, I can see where thatw ould definitely be beneficial.
