Traction problem? Lockers needed?
So I'm going down a muddy fire road at about a 30 degree incline in 4wd. I shift into 2nd to help ease off the brakes. When I do, the back end of the jeep started to slide to the right (passenger side). I go back to drive and only use the brakes, and it straightens out.
Is this an argument for lockers? Any ideas what's going on here?

damn, and here I was telling my wife I needed to go out and buy lockers! Guess I'll have to get that new bumper / tire carrier instead to increase the weight in the rear.
