Actually I just watched the video, and the ABLS was performing as best as it could under those conditions. You can clearly see it transfering power back and forth as any LSD would. And when you turned the tires applying some upward force to the street tires, both hook up. Unfortunately they are hooking up on solid ice. I can tell you that if you had the locker, a flick of the switch and you would have EASILY driven out of that situation. Remember, not only does the locker have far superior traction, but the ABLS re-programs the front to a more agressive profile with the locker on. Lesson learned? Buy the off-road model.
