I have an XLT (no 4 auto) and a locking diff. In the snow I like to pop the locker on rather than shifting to 4h. Well typically when there is snow it is also cold. When it is cold I wear gloves. When I wear gloves there is no way to pull that low profile ****. So a little grip tape stuck in the recesses has solved that problem .

 

You are clever. It sounds like a very practical solution.

 

You should add that **** mod to the upgrades for less than $50 thread.

 

I have always thought it was an odd shape and should be flared out for easier pulling. I guess if the **** can be removed I could always machine a nicer one.

 

Strategic thinking, I like it!

I got mine with the remote starter. Solved the cold issue, but is a little more expensive in my pockets


PS : XLT should come with 4A... What a BS this is.

 

I was under the impression the locker only engaged under 25 MPH....

Good idea!! Kudos.

 

i did a similar much more expensive mod... i moved to where it rarely gets cold :-)

 

Nice mod and it's something I'd use! I was hoping you had a mod to get it to light up

 

That's correct. I just use the locker to get rolling initially. It usually give just enough traction. It engages and disengages much faster than 4H as well.
