| ![]() LSD does work very well on loose surface like sand or ice or gravel, even loose dirt. I had an LSD in my Landcruiser Prados both LWb and 2 door SWB. On very loose sand i have got out of tricky situations by engaging cnetral diff lock and LSD in tandem. I have also liked the rear diff lock on the FJ Cruiser, it has got me out of powdery sand but the best was the front and rear diffs on the old model Landcruiser 80 series with fixed front axle and 4500 cc I6 engine, it is still the offroad vehicle to beat. |

| ![]() No LSD is a variable diff lock that works automatically by using small plates similar to clutch plates. It allows a certain amount of speed differential between the two axle shafts on an axle or the two prop shafts in the transfer case. When the speed differential reaches a predetermined level the diff lock mechanism starts working automatically so that each axle half or transmission lock starts recieving equal amounts of power. Central Diff lock, front diff lock or the most common rear diff lock can be engaged or disengaged manually or by electronic or pneumatic means. |

But to give the Pajeros their due, they were fantastic in the really bad situations. To add to this, they were the saviours of all of us and kept towing us all out from time to time due to their conveniently placed The Endy is really bad in the towability department. It has only one tow hook on the front left and no tow hook at the rear. This meant that if at all I got stuck the only way to pull me out was by towing me forwards or fixing the D shackle to the rear leaf spring. This means you have to be able to lie on the ground and under the vehicle to be able to do this. Thankfully this wasn't necessary on this occasion as the very thought of being on my knees in the slushy conditions that we were in on Sunday is unthinkable! This was my first serious off roading experience in the Endeavour automatic and so I didn't know how it would react. I'm sure the next time around I'll be much more confident with the vehicle. My Endeavour is now 23 months old ( the first Endeavour 4x4AT in the NCR) and it took me a long time to convince myself to let it go through thorny bushes. I now have a fairly scratched car, but I think some wax polish and buffing will get rid of the scratches! | |

@HillyBilly : We do need to test out what Samurai is saying. A friend has two ramps (these were used for simulating river bed slippage during Yeti drive experiences). Let me check out if we can get hold of them for use. | |
