What are you suggesting with - "I would pull the diff fuse to give it a better chance of rocking it's way out of bother."

Inserting a fuse would lock up the centre controlled LSD on my JDM car, but would have no affect on the rear LSD?

Cheers, Trevor.

Hi Trevor

I have no doubt you are skilled, and not a stick-in-the-mud type of driver

My point, probably foolish, about the diff lock was with available traction. With the 50-50 lock on, and three wheels gripping, I was pre-supposing you might get enough grip from 3 wheels to haul it out of the hole the fourth wheel was digging.

Revving it up may well have given enough torque to the three gripping wheels to haul it out regardless of what the fourth wheel was doing, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe the rear diff did "lock up", and haul the ass.
