You want traction? Get locked. Both wheels locked together on the same axle, all four wheels locked to the transfer case = maximum traction. No wheel slip, no spin. Just relentless...
Tech article by Merle Howard (Howiebilt)
The first thing you have to do is get some help. You already know that you will have to cut your front axle housing in half and the darned thing weighs more than most mortals can lift by themselves. I have chosen to use a band saw, to do the deed, since...
