You have to have slip between the two front wheels if you want to turn a corner because the outside wheel travels a 'lot' farther then the inside of the corner wheel.

The limited slip in the back if you know how to use it on ice (they can be badly behaved if you have a heavy foot or a light rear end) or an open diff on back and a manual locker up front would be my choice.

I too like to drive in 2 wheel drive with my front hubs locked in bad weather on my CJ7 so I can just shift on the fly into 4x4. If I was dealing with my Cherokee, it has a vacuum lock for the front axles so a locker would be ok there up front because the axle unconnects automatically when in 2 wheel drive.

Part TIme = not for use on surfaces with good traction. 4WD = both axles driven. Since the part time 4WD has no provision for slippage (like a differential), they are not...

I have an 86 CJ7 with open diffs front and back and for some reason I am the one everyone always 'tries' to follow up and across stuff on summer and winter snow runs. I have tons of good photos of folks with big fat tires and fancy lockers trying and trying and trying to get up to or over to where I am taking the photos from....

Oh I also can have 4 rooster tails flying out on snow or mud when taking off from a stop by using my brakes to load up the open diffs for a slippery start. (usually only 3 rooster tails though, my front is hard to lock)
