Are you thinking center diff locker instead? It's quite a bit different. If you don't know the difference you probably don't need either no offense. Personally I would get the limited just so I wouldn't have to see that ugly ass wide mouth bass front end everyday. Last edited by mxer; at PM. My sugustion is to go with the limited. Having the unlocked center diff will work better in the snowy areas. I highly doubt you'll ever need a rear locker unless you plan on seriously modifying and off-roading.
Plus you'll be agreeing with her so you get a automatic points card towards future upgrades. A-trac will get you through almost everything. The stuff it won't get you though will likely cause trail damage without sliders and upgraded skid plates. Just get the Trail Very capable platform. White TEP You guys are too funny. I would consider going off-road with my 40k vehicle, yes. Would I consider crawling up hells gate in moab?
Uh, maybe I'll ride along my 1st time. Would I take a back trail to a pretty cool campground, drive over some crap in the way of a great fishing lake, head up north to get in some snowboarding, snow camping or hiking?

Off road, this becomes a major burden as engine power will take the path of least resistance, which occurs at the wheels with little or no traction. Automatic locking differentials also have their disadvantages. Aside from being noisy, automatic locking differentials often upset the on highway and off road driving characteristics of your 4x4.
During normal driving conditions, vehicle responsiveness becomes less predictable, and when highway surfaces become wet or icy, the driver must use extreme caution just to keep the truck in control.
ARB has been challenging conventional thinking on off road equipment designs for over 30 years, and the ARB Air Locker has been a success from the very beginning. The advantage of the ARB Air Locker lies in the pneumatically operated locking system inside the differential. When activated, the Air Locker prevents the differential gears from rotating and therefore prevents the axle shafts from turning independently of each other. With both wheels tied directly to the rotation of the ring gear the vehicle maintains maximum possible traction at all times.
When unlocked, it operates just like conventional "open" differentials. When approaching difficult terrain, less reliance is put on momentum. An Air Locker equipped truck can be driven in a slower, safer and more controlled manner as a result of vastly improved traction. This style of driving greatly reduces the likelihood of incurring vehicle damage and lessens the environmental impact as well.
You do need an air source to drive the Air Locker. Check out our selection of ARB on-board compressors and accessories for more information on the compressor kits below.
