    AdvanceTrac vs Limited Slip

    Thank you for the feedback. I have solved my dilemma by acquiring an 86 Bronco. That has the aftermarket support to be a good wheeler.

    AdvanceTrac vs Limited Slip

    I have never taken any vehicle that did not have a limited slip rear off road. As a software engineer i find it disconcerting that software is supposed to help me better control my traction where roads are optional than a mechanical option.

    AdvanceTrac vs Limited Slip

    2nd Gen Mild Offroad Mods

    As the result of financial gaming by way of my soon-to-be-ex-wife, I am in possession of her underwater 2003 Ford Expedition(Black, Eddie Bauer, 5.4L, 4x4) and stuck with the loan as it was in my name. It has been a long time sine I have had a vehicle that could do any reasonable amount of...
