Is this True?
A friend (well person i knew), had an 03 tj and he said when he would engage the emergency brake just enough for the light to come on, the rear diff would sort of act like it had a locker. does anyone know if this is true on an xj or hell even a tj? he could have been lying to me or just been plain ignorant.
Thanks
Thanks

its kind of true on any vehicle with either open/limited slip rear and an E-brake. when one wheel is slipping, all the power will go to that wheel. Using the E-brake, you can add resistance to that wheel, causing the diff to (hopefully) send power to the other wheel as well.

dont go too crazy.. itll just wear out your drum parts faster. and it doesnt work that great/at all on an open diff. theres no replacement for a locker.
