I had spoken to Weedle about the limited-slip vs. the diff lock.
I was told the cost is about equal. This because the limited-slip is a
rare item and they are appropriately expensive when you can find them.

There also some talk about the Quaife tourque-biasing differential for
the Vanagon, but I don't know if anyone ever tried it. Seems that Quaife
was willing to make them, however they needed a minimum commitment of a
dozen or so.
