I saw a post joking around about installing a ARB in the front diff and it got me wondering.. Who and why install one on such a huge luxury SUV?
So instead of thread jacking I'd ask here.
My Jeep is locked front and rear but that's for really sketchy rock lol
Anybody else do this or is it more for mudding?
Post up pics of you can!

I would if I could afford to do all the mods. I have gone off roading but was limited because of lack of clearance.

My wife takes her Expy off road every time I take my truck out. I even have some videos on my YouTube.

I off-road Nukie. With the 37's, who needs a locker. Hell, I leave the truck in 2WD most of the time just to make it challenging. Now, I do have the limited slip rear, so, that does help. The only time I really think about 4x4 is when I am looking at sand. So, I have not seen a need for a locker up front.

Granted, if I get a true "trail rig", I am locking it front and rear and making something that will go where I want, when I want. But, then, I am looking at a tube chassis, Rockwwells, 44's at a minimum, and a twin screw supercharged I6 diesel. So, low end grunt is going to be no issues for me since I will probably also be running the 20:1 gear ratio in the axles.
