Locking the rear axle seems a bit much.

I'm in Hood River, and swapped tires for the Cooper Discoverer M+S in 275/65r18. Loving them. I've driven the Gorge several times right before they closed it... it was still harrowing, but the tires & truck are great. Also went up in the forest in over a foot of snow and that's the only time I used the locker and 4wd. Didn't get stuck, so that's all that matters.

Running Toyo AT2 and i have zero complaints, been performing well in all the snow days we've had. I used always buy MT tires for all my trucks but I rarely ever offroad anymore just simple muddy, rocky and rutted trails for fishing. Anyhow, these tires have done well in all conditions for me, also helps to have the factory LSD.

Tried driving up some snowy hills over the weekend without locking the rear axle. Much slower going, truck really felt like it was reducing the power to the wheels in an attempt to get traction. I'll stick with locking the axle from here on out when it comes to snowy and icy hills.
