    Thanks for the correction on the QDII thats whats great about this place, knowledge all around... i too have never had a problem with getting stuck, well except that one time I got high centered on the crossmember. From what I'm reading unless it's an ARB it wont benefit me in any way? I too want more ground clearance and was hoping to do a superlift this winter but I need new tires anyway so thats an extra grand I cant afford on top of the lift....if my 265's had more life on them (almost 40k) I would have been fine, but for Moab I want new meats. I have wheeled with the ESP on on 4 low its does do great! (Esp is reduced correct) Unfortunatly the snow has put a stop to my adventures till at least May.
    I thought having the mechanical advantage of the limited slip along with the QTII's brain would improve the XK's abilities. Especially if I ummm...decided to drive through a bowl in Moab, haha is that even doable with my OME?

    For the deep snow you can get maybe worth wiring a switch to the ABS fuse so you can disable it and spin as much as you want. The bowl LOL make sure you get a video of that please A selectable locker is really the best way to go but very expensive. If you don't mind a little noise some chatter and some extra tire wear then go for the other ones.. I'm sure someone makes one that will perform decent enough. I think at this point though a SL lift would benefit you more then a locker.

    it seems (at least in my mind) that the limited slip and traction control would work against each other if both were active. The limited slip needs one wheel to skip to activate the other wheel while the traction control is trying to stop that wheel that needs to slip so tbd the other will grip. With a locker the traction control won't sense a slip cause both wheels should be turning the same speed. In this case it would seem that it should work right, maybe.
