Not bad for an open rear...video
This first rear was the only good one i had and this is when i first bought the truck - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_FMk_Oo0IA
Nice. I have a 3.55 LS rear.
Do you have troubles with hills and a open rear? My LS makes hills easy. Heck, My parents had 9" on the ground. 5" then it got warm and froze, then snowed 6" more and crusted. So it had about 2 layers. My Arctic cat 400 4x4 could only go in 2nd gear 4hi with out bogging. Well, I got the idea to go around the building instead of backing up. Told my bro to hang on and as soon as the front started to sink, I got on the skinny pedal a little more and turned OD off. 70mph wheel speed with about 10mph ground speed got me through.

Nice vid, dodgeC
Open rears are fine with equal traction, those are the Treadwrights, pulltillbroke, that i have on the back. They are quiet on the highway and grip like nothing else in the snow and on the ice(without studs/chains). I should of had a video of the 3 trucks getting stuck on that first little hill, from my video, the one i went up no problem. 2 dodge trucks and a chevy, could not make it, we pushed them up with the quad and a spare tire.
Diseljon, yes snowy hills only carry me so far, even with the nice tires. It doesn't take long before one tire has more grip than the other and WHEEEE!!!! the one tire just lets loose.
12valvin, Yeah, brave and he knows my abilities and the physics behind drifting. One thing i do, is i honk the horn if i ever lose complete control of the vehicle. You are never fully in control when doing these things so you always need to be AWARE of your SURROUNDINGS. Its fun as hell but i've seen too many young teens do STUPID things. It isn't a game and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Its too easy to sideswipe a parked car, spin 180 around or slide off the road... thats why i only used empty parking lots and stay off suburban streets and away from people groups of people.
