I've got the syncro locker in my 2wd van, its great on rocky roads but
I've gotten stuck in not that much snow. Seems that on snow and ice it's
almost as easy to spin both wheels as it is to spin one. I think studded
tires would be the best bet, and cheaper, too.

Subject: Q: adding a differential lock or Limited Slip on a 2WD

Hi all!
<<Snip>>

Can someone point me to a good solution: how much would it cost to add a
locker? What is the easiest/cheapest way?
What does it involve mechanically? (Which parts do I need to
add/replace?)
I understand LSD is kind of automatic, and also not as efficient.
while a locker must controled from the driver's seat, so it 's not just
a simple mechanical add on.

If someone has already done so....

All inputs are welcome!
