its funny how these threads go....
as I've progressed through the years, styles, equipment, and preferences change....
I used to swear by detroits (or really, any 'automatic' locker that will hold up) in both ends....
then I swapped an ARB in the front, and thought the detroit rear, arb front was the ****...
then got the rear ARB.....and, really wasn't that impressed....sure, you can unlock them both and steer a little sharper, but found myself usually running spool'd in the rear and open in the front....
then....w/ cutting brakes on the rear.....I run almost all the time open in the rear, and just toggle the front in and out....
for where I'm at right now, I think a detroit in the front and an arb in the rear, w/ cutting brakes to the rear, to be the ****.....and 3-wheel drive it everywhere....only locking the rear when it really needs to be...
