The trail rating system for a 3 says a locking differential is recommended. When we went the Park Manager highlighted a few routes that we could take, that he thought we would be comfortable with

I've taken my LSD on some 4s also. Made me wish I had a rear locker, but you will be fine on a 3.

One of the guys from midsouthjeeps had me setting my parking brake just a couple clicks to gain traction in slippery spots. I have no idea how that worked, but it did lol

Just got back from the Ozark Overland Trail. Great ride! Me and the wife had to go solo, due to friends family emergency, si we played it safe. We skipped the power line section. Probably could have made it, but my wife is NO spotter. A couple creek crossings were too deep and fast for my comfort, being alone and no snorkel. Ready to go again! Will try to post pics latter

Did you need your rear locker at all on this trail?
