If you now how to use it,you will wear the Gov-loc out before you break it. Just know what you have and use it accordingly. The Gov-loc is as strong as any other device "once engaged". It's how you let it engage that matters. It will get you out of spots an open rear will leave you stuck. That's what it's for and that's what it will do. It's not for rock crawling,but works great in slippery terrain like mud and snow,as well as get you going in sand. Just don't tromp it until it engages and you are good. Once you realize the wheels spinning,let it spin and don't mash it. Just give it enough spin till you feel the rear engage and right about then you will also feel the added traction and then do what you gotta do.
