Do you mean will BTM make my open diffs act like limited slips? No, not really.

But I do drive with both feet, as it allows me to creep up a rock, and then get on the brakes and ease myself down slowly. Also, as I don't have that cool drive by wire throttle you guys do, it helps smooth out my throttle imputs. In low range, first gear, it can be a bit jumpy with a 2.72 low range, 3.73 gears, and 30" tires. So if I have some pressure on the brakes at the same time I'm on the gas, it allows me to drive a bit smoother.

That's my thing, I try to drive as smoothly and elegantly as possible. Not only is it much easier on the terrain and vehicle, I also get the satisfaction in knowing it was my driving, and not momentum, that got me over the obstacle.

You'd actually be surprised at how far I can get with open diffs. I have my flexy suspension to thank for that, it's good at keeping all four tires on the ground.
