There is a locking Diff available but it is hard too find and around 900
bucks from www.2weddle.com

There is also a "LockRite" unit on the aftermarket that cost around 300
bucks but makes alot of racket for normal driving. Its also thought to be
not as good.

I know only of these two products by inquiry... I have no experience with
them.
