And I'm assuming you're referring to a spool?

Not a dumb question at all.

I wouldn't make a habit of driving around that way nor would I intentionally wheel in that configuration given other options but you'd at least be able to turn on slippery/icy roads that way.

Do you have lock outs or drive flanges on your spooled D60?

Lock outs.
I'd like flanges if I had a selectable though.

Then your front diff. acts like an open diff. with the front axle unlocked, right?


Also:
Would snowchains help with keeping traction and keep from sliding sideways in the snow when a front diff has a spool?
