    What situations do you lock you center diff?

    That Is exactly my thought on it, though is a road has a lot of turns I don't lock the diff cus I'm worried about sliding sideways and I assume the vsc keeps that from happening.

    What situations do you lock you center diff?

    I have only locked my center diff in 4 lo when stuck in snow or mud, when doing very slow very hairy off roading on rocks, and when pulling someone out of situations. But technically when should one lock up the center diff in 4low? And when in 4hi?
