Truetrac
So talking to my local jeepers and debating on truetrac front and rear then someone mentioned a system that is a locking system and truetrac like in the meantime. I forgot the name tho. Anyone have knowledge on this?

The company that owned the truetrac before detroit had a unit that was a gear driven limited (like the truetrac) but also had a full lock function like any of the selectables on the market. I don't think it is available anymore?
The Ected is similar, being full time limited with a selectable locker function, but I believe it uses clutches, not gears like the TT. Clutches tend to wear out over time.
There is some info here:
