Ah I see what you are saying now. Yes I have also been concerned about being locked all the time in the snow on street. The Aussie however unlocks when the wheels are turned either direction and it is unlocked all of the time when the rig is in 2 wheel drive. So from those whom I have talked to said that in the snow it takes a little getting used to but that once you know how it reacts it's a non issue. I guess I won't know until I try it?
