Hilarious - funny how differences arise in the crowd that hangs out at this
pub, when we fall astray of our usual discussions...

Wine on an off-road trip? Jeeze, I wonder if I'll ever become that finicky.
On my last real adventure, which involved dashing halfway across canada from
Ottawa to John Cranfield's yard, in Nova Scotia, I lived on two 2L bottles
of cheap pop, lots of water, two bags of doritos, some kraft dinner (instant
macaroni and cheeze) and some assorted easily prepared junk food....

Wine? I can't even afford fuel, let alone food!

JW< but would this go for the detroit locker too? i have one in the rear of
the range rover and when you do this the wheels still spin opposite.

  I have never tried a Detroit with this test but, have read it many times
and KNOW it works for a car with a Posi rear.  If it worked on a 30 year old
Buick Posi, I'd think a Detroit would keep things locked enough so they'd go
the same way.

I believe that until they lock up they will act like a regular open diff. After they lock up they should both spin the same direction.
