I recently fitted a Wavetrac Wavetrac® Differential - A torque biasing differential with a difference diff centre and I'm rapped with my choice.
Was originally going to fit a Harrop true trac but decided on the wavetrac after reading many forum reviews especially overseas.
I found a wet road yesterday and it just sat on the rear and jumped off the line.
Thanks to zom & VEO55 for their input and incites.

Looks the goods Surf, nice one.
What was it in particular that pushed your decision from the Tru Track to Wave Track?

They have drive to both wheels all the time even if one is in the air or say on ice which the true tracs won't.
The true trac need some bias to operate the wavetrac doesn't.
Ive been caught on near frozen grass a few times when visiting my daughters property.
That is the reason why I use 18's instead of 19"s for the dirt roads on her property.

Two stock posi centres, two TrueTrac centres now onto the Wavetrac.
Interestingly the diff dude who has seen all the carnage over the years said the 1.1 litre "whole of life" oil capacity pushes the gear oil past its limit. Especially with more torque, added weight, and big km.
Will be changing diff oil now at spark plug interval.

Yes, diff oil is often overlooked.
