Uhh.....I guess I'm insane <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> My Mustang has a gasket so I guess I was just assuming everything does. I completely forgot about using plugs, but that makes a whole lot of sense right about now. So the front AND rear have drain AND fill plugs? Why didn't I just look instead of assuming and looking for something that apparently doesn't exist? Either that or maybe YOU guys are the insane ones <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

The ft diff has a std cover but the rear is 3rd member style. Both in your 87 have drain and fill plugs. I did remove the ft cover at one point to extend the cap vent on the top of the ft cover (for water crossings). I used ultra grey silicone sealant to reseal the cover. There was no gasket there when I started either. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I always thought it would be cool to rig up a dual Parking brake setup on my old gen 1. Especially since it already had the cutout in the center console for the Left hand drive models..if the left rear was in the air just give the left p-brake a jerk...kinda a poor mans locker <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I was thinking the same thing with dual ebrakes, but then I got the auto, and the front LSD. Now I simply feather the pedal and throttle. Works awesome.
I don't use friction modifier either, but it sure barks going around turns. Well worth it off the trail though.

Really?! the cutout is already there? I'm gonna have to take a look - that would be sweet.
The reason I asked about the front wheels not moving while the rears were spinning is because I wanted to know if a front LSD would really help me. Seems like if they aren't getting any power while the rears are spinning away it wouldn't do much good to have a rear LSD. Is something up with my transfer case or is that normal operation?

Does your "wheel lock" light come on in 4wd?
When I bought mine, the chain was broken.

i went and re-analyzed the video that was shot of me going up the hill and the front wheels are definitely spinning at the same speed both rear wheels were... i guess they just weren't doing much because of the steep angle making the front end much lighter and therefore pretty much useless. it's all about those rear 2 wheels when you're climbing steep loose stuff. I need a real locker! i've been defeated! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Back in the Dark Ages (like 1965 or thereabouts) when the first dune buggies came out (the Meyers Manx), we used dual handbrakes on the veedub chassis's, since there were NO traction aids for beetles, or at least none we could afford. Worked like a charm, IF you could steer, shift, clutch, accel, AND yank a pair of ebrake handles. You only got one additional hand if you had a passenger, because he was holding both your beers in the other....

That sounds pretty awesome and seems like it would be pretty easy to do with a junkyard lever. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> It would be a good interim solution until I can get a real locker. With this realization about the LSD I'm definitely not going to bother with a front LSD.
