I am looking at a 2008 Xterra SE that supposedly has factory limited Slip Differentials in front and back. I was considering buying one with no lockers or LSD and adding ARB locker in front and LSD in back. I will go mudding and water fording. I am in south Florida, so no rock climbing.
My question is, how good are the LSD in the 2008 Xterra. I had LSD in front and locker in back in my FJ Cruiser, and never used the LSD (A-track) because the locker was much better.
Thanks for the info

I have an 08 S and the limited slip system automatically activates the brakes of the slipping wheel. I thought only the off-road model had any mechanical LSD or locking differential.

Whatnext, I guess the LSDs can be optional in other models. I know what they do. Thanks, but there are several ways to do it I have read there are magnetic, clutch, etc. There are supposedly many advantages to each. But what I want is user feedback from Xterra users. Basically, will I need to replace them with ARB or another type of locker? I have read that the Eaton Detroit Truetrac Differentials are basically the best LSDs. It would be interesting to know how they compare with the Xterras.

Thanks
