then there is no point locking the diff, wheels will be touching ground at all times, no slippage, full traction.
- kube-system 2y agoTires can slip while in contact with the ground, as well.
- gorgoiler 2y agoI have say I’ve needed to use difflock on the Defender (another solid axle vehicle excellent at maintaining ground clearance) more times for mud than for ditch traversal.
- alamortsubite 2y agoNo, this is only true with equal traction at each wheel, which quite often isn't the case (mud, snow, ice, etc.). Locking diffs are very useful offroad.
