Differential lock

[Pål Blesvik]

No problem at all.
My other car has differential lock in both ends and its perfect for driving
uphill at snowy and curvy roads.
You just have to set up the slide before the curve.
But power is essential ...

That is not a good idea.  Have you ever driven a car with a locked diff??
It is unsafe, and very difficult to control on turns in the snow and ice.
