Lockers.... are NOT over rated

[elhefe4]

fake

[texasbradley]

Lockers wouldent have helped you our once you got stuck you were spinning all four. They mught have helped during your charge though and got you through it.

[trainzeiro]

Why did you chosse these ways?

[blahblahblah5377]

i dont think theyll be stuck for long...surrounded by trees and they have a tractor jack. kinda like wen my neighbor got his lifted hd stuck in the marsh...sitting on the chassis. after 5 hours finally found sum1 with a jack and we had him out in 10 minutes. the jeep he was trying to yank ddnt have a chance after the tide came in...

[80CJ5]

I don't have this problem or lockers. But with 350 hp in a 1966 bronco mud holes like that one just kinda pass under me. Some times I actually miss the challenges of stock wheeling, it was almost....more fun.

[alexrex20]

lockers wouldn't have helped. he was already spinning all 4 tires.

[christhetromboneguy]

@alexrex20 and he was slammin the gas to hard, lockers woulda maybe got him through before he got stuck

[flight2k5]

@alexrex20 you can't tell he was already spinning all 4 tires

[TheXJthatCould]

digging urself in more >.<!!!!

[BensHerps]

Hey what are lockers/what do they do?

[greenbowshrimper]

@BensHerps I'm pretty sure they are an upgrade to your differential in which the wheels rotate at the same speed no matter what, whereas with a regular differential the wheels rotate at different speeds when you are turning or whatnot. I may be wrong though

[s401081]

@BensHerps they lock both wheels together. so you dont have one wheel spinning and the other just sitting there. they help alot.

[BensHerps]

@s401081 Thanks man. Are they cheap/easy to install?

[leethehunter]

what the heck did the the guy yell

[proslayer101]

@leethehunter "lockerrrsss are ovverrraaaaatteeddd" is what ye yelled

[mcloven83]

From there it's just a matter of tire size and ground clearance.

[RedneckOnFridayNight]

@nightlighton But they aren't as good in the mud because they have a longer wheel base. Shorter the wheel base the better. I know that because I have a 97 zj, stock right now. And the guys in the yj and tj with 31 do a lot better only because of wheel base

[nightlighton]

Only reason anybody would say the 4 door is only built for the road has never had one,longer wheel base helps a lot on the rocks,lift it 4 inches with 37 inch tires.Rubicons come with lockers front and rear plus electric swaybar disconnect.Also sliders on the side for the rocks.

[gpnmoab1]

Then who is the "somebody yelling back there"? Must have been some one trespassing on your private property since you all didn't know who they were.

[gpnmoab1]

Way to go tearing up trail. This is why they get shut down for the rest of us

[bamfan2044]

@gpnmoab1 Ever thought this was private property?

[cbr6864]

honestly jeep killed every reason to wheel a jeep with the 4 door....big, heavy, long built for the road not the trail

[freedomnutz]

@cbr6864 then get a different style? not all of the new ones are exactly the same lol, different packages.

[ThePwnSho]

@cbr6864 Then go for the rubicon... duh

[2drewbaker]

I agree, why don't all 4 wheel drives have locking diferentials?

[Mahnza123]

And the zombie outbreak recovery vehicle gets stuck...

[catfishakaAMC]

Jeep - Just Empty Every Pocket. (and STILL not be able to do what my stock Sidekick can do) It would have shredded that the 1st try!

[Gocza1377]

@catfishakaAMC Yeah im gonna call bs on that one.... hahaha pretty funny though

[catfishakaAMC]

@Gocza1377 Sidekick - Tread lightly. Everything about it is designed to save weight. Thats how I get 26 mpg combined city/highway even with 4x4.

[mastersduhgree]

I see room to the left of the road.I would not have followed the same route that everyone who got stuck took.WHat sense does that make? NONE.

[l337pwnage]

silly statement since all 3 visible tires were spinning, and judging by the wheel speed of the passenger front, I'd say all 4 were spinning at least some of the time.

[MYM45ONTUBE]

That's why wranglers are awesome 2door..

[Fashimy]

and thats why i like my 2 door

[rayraychapman]

Hmmm

[Rockjunky1129]

Splavin90, so what do you drive? that your hatin on jeeps

[kyletheoutlaw]

wheelbase was too long for that hole...

[splavin90]

jeeps are over-rated

[Darkcruzer23]

my dad has a 2010 yamaha big bear 400 with diff lock. i have a 1995 polaris magnum 425. his has 10.5" ground clearance mine has 6". he has rode atvs longer than i, he tried 15 times at 1 mud hole with lockers. i tried 1 time and went right through it???

[Darkcruzer23]

@Darkcruzer23 oh and we have the same exact tires both brand new

[bhunt31]

@Darkcruzer23

If you're trying to say that unlocked is better than locked, you're smoking crack. 4 wheels pulling is ALWAYS better than 2 wheels pulling. Always. If you truly made it through like you say, you picked a different line. Never is an open diff or LSD better than lockers, never.

[sejnitram]

Complete tool. Gotta love that stock suspension bottoming out.

[Mikes1000Toys]

Hey rear bumper do you have.. on your jeep(Green-one)

[cdawg4391]

Lockers are invaluable.....best invention for ultimate traction control :).

[gary66669]

what a retard

[doryman1000]

Neither are tires bigger than 33's.....get some real rubber.

[chooperXmane]

@JeepJKRiders

then what is an XJ?

[jjjacko]

Hahahaha "I'll save you!!!"

*Stuck*



[JeepJKRiders]

@surplusowner92, JK= Jeep King, TJ= Trailing Jeep, YJ= Yuppie Jeep, and CJ= Civilian Jeep. Or should I say, CJ is the only true answer, the rest nobody knows the truth.

[0101kobe]

your such a nub



[surplusowner92]

JK Jeep= Just Kidding Jeep. TJ= Tough Jeep. TJ FOR LIFE :)

[mjolnirv17777777]

@surplusowner92 yj= yuppie jeep, but hey even though im a yuppie jeep owner i still love my jeep :)

ohhhhh btw *wave*

[raginroadrunner]

The locking differential is the single most important advancement in off road vehicles. I started off roading in 1960. Been at it ever since...RR

[AWalk06TJ]

lockers don't do anything in the mud, a limited slip will spin all fours becuase there is no torque or tension on any of the tires. lockers help when rockin or trailin becuase a lot of the time one tire will be floating or easier to spin then the other. lockers elimite this and spin both or all fours equally.

[andrademeza]

@AWalk06TJ hey, what are lockers?

[THERexKramer]

Yeah, that jeep isn't gonna last long...

[CrazyMalone]

what is the point of a long wheelbase, 4 door Heep?

[jwwhite207]

@CrazyMalone carry children to soccer practice. 

[XUGAxFANX]

that bitch is muddy

[asssface2000]

lose the stupid accents.

[vantagetes]

Time to send in the JK recovery vehicle!

[Burnout8506]

@vantagetes JK Recovery Vehicle will be posted tonight.

[98MAzdaMilleniaS]

@Burnout8506 AKA the XJ.... ;)

[loaderopp]

lol this was a great day of wheeling

[pickelhead007]

Awesome vid Alex, and you can sure hear Mike giving him the gears!!!!!!

[loaderopp]
