    I'm not asking if you are worried about it not working, I'm asking if you are concerned about not being able to turn it off. Have you ever been locked and spinning on an off camber road or trail? Without one wheel to anchor you, the locked axle will simply slide down the hill. I almost put my truck into one of the ponds behind Water World once, and that was just with an LSD in the rear and a muddy dirt road that was only slightly off camber. If it weren't for the front axle anchoring me, I would have ended up in the pond. Is your rear locker selectable?

    EDIT: Let me clarify. I would actually be less worried about having a locked front on a capable trail rig, that is on a trail; and more so on driving in slick conditions on the roads. A lunchbox or LSD on the rear only is pretty manageable on the streets in the snow, but I'd be VERY hesitant to drive with the front locked in the snow, if the rear was also locked. I just recently did a TON of reading on this because Aussie makes a front locker for IFS set-ups as well. There is a guy over in Grand Junction with an Aussie on both axles, he says he does not drive his truck in slick conditions on the roads.

    On the other hand, here is a video of an XJ with an Aussie on the front and LSD in the rear to encourage you.
