How to "lock" an open dif
So I thought this was fairly common knowledge, but after seeing many scenes of folks getting pushed while stuck in the snow, including a Jeep with snow tires spinning the left rear and right front tires, it evidently is not "common".
All you need to do is drag the brakes slightly and without going into the technicalities, it will cause torque to transfer through both (or all four) wheels even with an open differential. Used this technique to get moving in mud or snow many times.
