        I disagree. I am not a Ricky Racer, (I'll admit to a few races
though) and I got the Trak-Loc in my 4X4. I just completed a trail
that was impossible to complete without some type of traction aid. The
"posi" is "worse" than a locker, but easier on the street. If Dodge
would have offered a locker I would have gone than way...A limited
slip is very necessary if you wheel' hard trails, and a locker is even
better...

You are correct on that fact that it will slip sideways...but only if
you continue to push it past the point of traction.
