A length of chain with hooks on each end will work as a towing bridle on nearly any vehicle. Hooking on to the front or rear crossmember, axle or even lower control arms doesn't require any factory recovery points. Of course, if they've buried it to the frame rails it would take a bit of...

Yes, though it is not a locked diff. The clutch system will reduce torque applied to the wheel that's slipping and will increase it to the more slowly-turning wheel. An important concept in actually driving with a LSD is that the coupling of the two wheels is proportional to the torque applied...

I can't compare, not having driven a later model, but my '01 Ltd with LSD is amazing. I would never consider putting a rear locker in, although I have thought about dropping in a front autolocker. I'm not aware of any particular issues to watch out for; it's a very robust vehicle. The hardcore...
