Actually that is kinda funny
Anyway, my comments about LSD with traction control is the BLD that you talk about, just different names. I have the stock rear with "BLD" and a lunchbox loker in teh front and go everywhere. Most of the guys I wheel with are amazed that I am not completely locked front and rear.
It is a great system, and when it wears out, or just doesn't work well anymore I will switch to a selectable locker, but for now it works great, and I do nothing to activate it. I just drive as if I am locked.

That is probably the traction control kicking in. Once the esp is off, the the bld can do its work.

your right...two seperate systems that work together really well. I happen to have LSD and traction control (BLD), which is great for a "quasi-locker". I don't think that either one with out the other would be all that great.

My understanding of the BLD is that it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the parking brake. Where that came from, I have no idea. In fact, I would bet that if you tried to engage the parking brake, it would probably totally confuse the BLD and cause it to not operate properly.

LSD is great, but won't get you on organized trails...
I have the LSD on my JK, and was unable to go on the swamp trail organized run - couldn't get past the safety check. Lockers required.
A lot of the organized runs I go on post clearly that you have to have at least one locker to go on the advanced runs. LSD not enough.
That being said, I haven't had any trouble on the runs I was on! I was able to climb a waterfall on "Winch Hill" on the bear creek run on stock tires! It was tough though.
Anyway, I went and added a front locker and will be checking it our tomorrow. I let you know if I notice a major difference.

The whole thing with the parking brake is with the antique LSD's in the TJ's and such. You had to pump the brakes or hit the E-brake to get them to activate. Those who're still livin' in the past can't seem to accept that someone finally got somethin' right and the systems do really work without any help from us.
Any issues with MY contractions?
