Anyone care to comment on limited slip versus non-LS for off-road use on a 4x2 X?

Looking forward to doing some light off-roading with my 4x2. Like many others I've run across on this board, financial reasons dictated that I end up with a 4x2.

Not planning on tackling the best that Moab has to offer, crossing deep streams, running in thick mud or sand or trying to climb boulder-strewn trails.

I figure with the numerically high rear-end on these things, along with my 5-speed and LS diff, I should be able to mount a few more obstacles than a similar vehicle without limited slip.

Opinions? (Also, I realize that tire choice plays a big factor when talking 4x2 off-roading).

They have alot of info on 4x2 off-roading on this forum, there's a topic called "4x2 offroad" check it out....

Dont get a LSD, get a Posi Track, lot better.

Um, Posi-trac is a GM name for the same clutch-type limited-slip. And you can't put a GM unit in an Xterra.

:rolleyes:
