  • this moparmurderer guy was an idiot eh

  • This should be titled "off road rig vs. pavement pounder"

  • @moparmurderer Your username should be titled "Ignorant Viewer".

    They're both essentially stock rigs from the same vehicle family and weigh nearly the same, except my rig has a locker. As you can see my tires did not help his rig. At no point does the explorer ever lift a wheel like my B2 does and neither rig was dragging on the ground. It's a very fair comparison.

  • @HahnsB2 My truck would put both of them to shame. And I am far from ignorant. I am a HUGE Ford fan, and I know exactly how they compare to each other. Your b2 would eat that explorer alive in any situation. Your rig was set up for offroading, his was a pavement pounder. it's as simple as that.

  • @moparmurderer It will eat it alive because it has a LOCKER! Which is exactly what this video is showing. Jesus christ, get a clue.

  • @HahnsB2 Dude you're the one that needs to get a clue. You're trying to show how your off-road rig is better off-road than his pavement princess, well no shit Sherlock! You might as well be comparing your B2 against a Honda off-road. Every one of your messages to me has been trying to insult me in some way. Very childish of you. Seems that you're just realizing everything I say is right. B2 vs. Ex, B2 will win off-road every time.

  • @moparmurderer If you can't understand that the locker it's making all the difference here, you're beyond help. It has nothing to do with B2 vs EX, they're essentially the same vehicle. Now GTFO my channel, you typical shit-talker with no videos of your own.

  • @HahnsB2 See, there you go again trying to insult me. You're such a low-life piece of scum. You think you're cool because you post videos about your shitty bronco that you think is amazing because it has the cheapest ass piece of shit locker you could afford. I don't have any videos because I spend my time in the driver's seat having fun, not taping others having fun. GTFO your channel, you don't deserve to be here with me.

  • @moparmurderer Enjoy your blocking, shithead.

  • Get out the winch for the Ex, lol. I have a 92' Explorer sport that I am tricking out for stuff like this. Lock right is the way to go is you are on a budget and want to keep your rig street/highway friendly:-). Do you still have the stock TTB in the front on the Bronco?

  • @that70sguy1975 You can see in the video that it has the stock TTB. The TTB has gotten a bad rap, and, yes, they do eat tires on the road, but they are far better than the IFS in the Explorer for off-road! My XJ would have made it up that hill with ease before I put in the front locker, did the lift, and with 225/75R15 road tires on it. I go up hills like that in 2wd with my XJ all the time with a factory LSD in the rear and 255/70R15s; in 4wd w/ the front locker it would be easy.

  • @that70sguy1975 I did at the time of this video.

  • Huh, must be a shitty LSD! I go up larger hills than that with my '96 XJ and all I have is a factory LSD and Michelin 235/75R15 LTX M/S2. If mine slips whatsoever, then it locks both tires; best damn LSD that I have ever had! I have seen too many of the Ford LSDs go to shit. I have an '84 f-150 with a bad LSD in an 8.8. It is going to get a Spartan when I get the money!

  • @kc8ntp There is no LSD that locks. I have a friend with an XJ on 31" BFG MTs and a rear LSD that struggles with this hill in 4wd. You can even find a video on my channel of my B2 spanking his XJ on a different hill. You cannot accurately judge an obstacle by video.

  • Comment removed

  • @HahnsB2 You are right, however, it is very hard to judge an obstacle from a video. I have been to Moab many times (I only live 400-miles from there) and see some of the obstacles that I have been over, that were pretty difficult, look like gravy on a video.

  • I'm not running anything hardcore, but am installing a lock right locker in my '03 Marquis after my 1 wheel wonder left me spinning my tires on anything slippery.. :)

  • So this is a two wheel drive with a locking rear?

  • @cliffcox66

    Both rigs are 4wd.

  • @HahnsB2 In your opinion, do you believe that a two wheel drive with locker could make it up that hill?

  • @cliffcox66

    No, I tried it in 2wd and it would not do it.

  • Explorer is lower to the ground, was probably catching in the middle. Put taller tires on and it'd probably be fine.

  • @ahanix1988

    It was not dragging, it's only problem is that it has an inferior differential.

  • @HahnsB2 so hows that lock right holding up on the street?bad nosies??

  • I am thinking on installing lock right in to my 79 f150 hope it works great..

    nice video

  • Nice example of the locker, I'm looking into locking the front and rear of my explorer.

  • Lockers are like wheelchairs, some people need them, but its nice when you can get by without. ;p

    Bronco II's will own Exploders all day. I watched a street tired BII run a mudhole that was stopping 1/2 ton chevs on 35's.

    Of course, he did it by taking an EXTREMELY off camber line, but it worked, lol.

    Now, drop the TP and apply the parking brake. ;)

  • true lockers will help, but this test wasnt accurate, still tho, good vid! shows how awsome lockers are :) iv got some on the way

  • nah it just cuz it a ford

  • The only way this test would be accurate is if you swapped tires and locked and unlocked diffs on the SAME TRUCK. Explorers are BAD off-road. I always laugh when people say "See, my friends blahblahblah truck is better than my other friends blahblahblah truck. He had mudders and a locker and I didn't, plus his truck was etc etc etc." It's NOT accurate.

  • This is pretty close to accurate.. You can't unlock his locker. It's not selectable. It only unlocks when he turns a corner, but sometimes they still chatter while turning. I had lockrights front and rear and loved them. If the explorer would have modulated the brake pedal, or slightly held the brake while he was on the throttle he would have had a better shot. Still would have been tough, but better.

  • @welfaremother Locker on the explorer would make a huge difference. Or on anything else. I can go most places while still in 2wd with the rear locked.

  • yeahh..

    i need lockers in my 97 explorer sport.

  • locker make a hug difference

  • locker front and back or just back? do your tires wear quickly? do the lockers make it hard on tight turns? are they loud at all? i really want to get a locker but i don't know if i should do front or back. thanks, nice vid btw!

  • 99.9% of the time, you should do the rear first.

  • You should not do a front locker if: You like to be able to steer in 4WD, and; You can physically unlock the front shafts.

    Under power (foot on gas) the thing is a spool. Both tires travel at the same rotations making steering hard, and also increasing the chances of joint failure.

    If you DO have a failure, having auto hubs will not allow U 2 drive.

    Look into a front TrueTrac for a great, steerable traction device. Also great for the rear, if you don't need such an extreme, harsh set-up.

  • I am not doubting anything....chill a little.

  • You in the same gear range on test ....didnt look like??????

  • Both rigs were in low range. Why does everyone doubt the awesome benefits of a locker?

  • Great video man like your truck, what locker do you use?

  • It's a lock-right. Please read the video info.

  • Jeez HahnsB2 you should get a jeep it would beat any ford bronco2 LOL jk....randomly seen your name on the side which i remember from TRS

  • Is you lock-rite streetable? I've heard most of the streetable lockers don't hold up very well, and an air, or e-locker is too damn expensive.

  • Yeah it's not bad. I have over a year and a half on it and I bought it used, still working great.

  • @HahnsB2 Care to elaborate where you got it used at?

  • sometimes if you apply the brakes lightly when stuck and the wheels are spinning it will send more power to the spinning wheel kinda like doing a brake stand

  • why would you want to send more power to tire that is spinning? you would want to send the power to the tire that has traction!

  • ha ha ha ya after i read it i noticed what i put i ment the stuck tire.

  • That second truck diffs are completely open, not limited slip.

  • It has a rear limited slip, go kill yourself.

  • Not a chance ... no limited slip. In fact, explorers are known to have completely open diffs. Unless you have a reason to think this guy as fitted it with a rear LSD.

  • Have you personally looked at the diff and door tag? It is a FACT it has a limited slip. And it is a FACT that they suck, I had one too before a locker that was the same way. Same with the jeep in my other video, LS rear.

  • Then it's probably a clutch type LSD. A common problem with this type of LSD is that the clutches wear out eventually, rendering the diff completely open. This is very common with JEEPs, which have cluth-type rear LSD. The reason is that the clutches are continuously engaged, so after like 60 to 100 thousand mile (depending on the viscosity of diff oil) they eventually wear out.

  • I'm well aware of how the ford Trac-lok works and that's why it sucks, there is just no substitute for a locker.

  • BRONCO II's Kick Ass!

    I have an '85. w/ a 3" lift and a Dana 35 in the front w/ EZ Lockers and an 8.8" in the rear and an Eaton Posi and 4.56's. Never have I ran into any problems. I love them broncos.

  • i love them too i almost bought a few

  • Two piece of shit vehicles. Get a landcruiser! Or better yet, a Unimog!

  • Buy a Unimog for me and I'll drive it you dick licking shit stain.

  • Seems you get pretty pissed off over people's comments. You're pathetic with your replies. Temper temper! But thats to be expected from someone that drives an exploder. Watch out for those sharp curves LOL!

  • I don't drive an explorer jackass. I can corner at nearly twice the posted speed for most corners in my Bronco, why do I need to corner any faster? It's not a Porsche. I'd love to see a video of the POS you drive, I'd be more than happy to go wheelin with you too and see which rig's a piece of shit. If you want to shit from your mouth do it somewhere else.

  • So you're the one with the poor man's bronco. Exploder, bronco, its still a piece of shit Ford nevertheless! I'd run it over with my 404 any day. Probably out corner it too! I've had two new Fords and they've both had MAJOR problems within the first few thousand miles. Never again! You can keep your Found on the road dead! And now you can buy a new one because they're practically giving them away. I hope they go out of business!

  • Believe me, I'm not the biggest ford fan ever, you couldn't pay me to own any of their diesels, nor do I like most of they're new cars. The older ranger based vehicles (includes B2s and Explorers) are very solid and reliable rigs. Father has a 89 2wd ranger with a 2.3, has done virtually zero repairs in 70,000 miles, had well over 200K on it when he got it, couldn't dream of better reliability. My rig has evolved since this video, it now rides on 34" swampers/is locked up front, plenty capable.

  • hey i liked the bronco 2 i have one my self it's a 84 with a 3in lift and rides on 33's i love it it out does every jeep that i have come acrossed so far and they had 6in lift and 35's bronco 2's rule.

  • haha thats funny "shit from your mouth" good one dude

  • @skypilot83 atleast he wheels and takes vids and invested in an actual locker. locker owns limited slip everywhere but on road take a physics class. not so whiney ass kid who wont do anything bad ass with daddys truck that "came with a rear limited slip so it must the best my dick sucking dad has it"

  • you asshole, landcrusiers are pieces of SHIT! buy a Bronco II.

  • Locking both ends is better... :D

  • Good real world demo of why lockers are NECESSARY for wheeling. Open and LS just don't cut it on the trail.

  • It's pretty obvious that the Explorer is not bottoming out, it's getting light when it hits the ruts off camber and lifting a wheel and spinning. Limited slips only work on the street, as soon as you lift a tire with one they start spinning like an open diff.

  • ok yoru stupid. the explorer is bottomed out u dumb fuck.

    go suck a dick

  • Go fuck off. The explorer is not bottomed out, were you there? Didn't fucking think so, it's clear as fucking day it's flexing out and spinning.

  • Isn't the point of a Limited-Slip Differential that when one wheel loses traction, the opposite wheel gets the torque? I don't see that happening with the Explorer in this video. Are you sure the diffs. are LS and not open? I have a '98 Explorer with open diffs. I think you need to get the towing package on the Explorer to get LSDs.

  • Yes I've confirmed it's a limited slip 3.73 by reading the door code. I used to have a limited slip and it behaved the same way, there is no mechanism that transfers power, just clutches, so once those clutches slip (which doesn't take much) it acts just like an open diff.

  • what kinda wheels are those?

  • Dunno, stock XLT ranger/B2 wheels I think.

  • What kind of wheels are those

  • haha

  • ur Bronco 2 rules man and it sounds fuckin awesome. That Exploder sucks lmao.

  • hey fuck you its stock have fun in ur geo bitch

  • HAHAHA DUDE. fuck you to hell. this dude has alot of aftermarket shit on his B2 such as the the Rear Locker u fucking asshole. Learn to read and watch the video before you comment assfuck. So fuck off asshole and go suck a dick

  • LOL dude, Cjg253 owns that sploder....

  • LOL!!! wow I didn't know that!!! plz erase that comment then. I thought he was sayin ur B2 is stock...now I recognize he means the Exploder. Hes still a dick though...1995-2001 Exploders SUCK ASS!!!!!

  • Oh shut the fuck up and get over yourself. I don't try and wheel it and I don't have the intent to. Seriusly look at it. Do you honeslty think I would wheel it. For a completly stock rig it works just fine for camping and road trips and what not.

  • haha. Dude...calm down. I know you weren't tryin to be da shit in that thing...its impossible. LMAO...the only good 95-01 Exploders are the ones with the 302 V8. But, no matter what motor, Exploders are shit for off roading. I like older Exploders but I love B2s
