No I change that. It that some of you can't handle any opinion or knowledge other than your own. Even though I go to great lengths to show you I am being truthful.
So because I have a little jeep my opinion is not worth anything.
I mean seriously, guys like me with smallish rigs make up the majority here.
I think some of you need to climb off that high horse you have been riding on.
And don't worry about me posting any more on this. Because its been childish for quite some time. Its a shame but you obviously have a quest to rule this roost.
Anyways sorry for my part.
Have a great time wheeling, for me this is what its about.

LOL All I want to do is take my jeep places. Don't really care about the thread going places 8).
I think I am getting a wee bit touchy with all these attacks on my credability so sorry if I jumped the gun.

Alright lets quit this messing around. Guys this is basic stuff here its not rocket science!
Its like when you try telling someone on a motorcycle you have to turn the handlebars right to go left. People just can't get it. And they have been riding their whole lives.
It all depends on where you wheel. All serious now. If you are in rocks, and like terrain. Then I personally would prefer to be locked front and rear. Its a no brainer.
But on slick trails, a lot of the time open is great. And that is a lot of where I wheel. Sometimes being locked keeps you from holding a line. And that is really all I am saying.

the open diff allows for you to lose traction with the one tire, but the other tire is still stationary, keeping the vehicle from sliding around. meaning you can get a little throttle happy in some cases and not lose control. but you're still only relying on the traction of 1 tire per diff to get you moving.
now locked, you now have twice the traction per diff. but this also means that if you cant get them to hook up you have the possibility to to slide side to side. this is where DRIVER INPUT makes a difference.
your video show 3 completely different vehicles with different tires, suspensions, drivers.
the better driver with the better tires made it up that day without issue.
it's not as simple as locker vs no locker.

it seems to be you who doesnt understand how it works.

Here you go N20jeep. This should help you out so I won't have to argue. Obviously I suck at explanations.
this quote is false and is explained.
Honestly you guys need to watch this video, and skip to the 1:50 mark as suggested in the video.
Once this is mutually understood maybe we can move forward.

Looking forward to another thread by you. Hmmm, whats next ? You already did " who needs a locker", "who needs big tires" "who needs longarms". Oh yeah, another thing you dont have is a steel bumper so now you have to argue to the rest of us on how wheeling without one is much better then with one.
PS I have a small Jeep and I dont argue with 99% of people on this forum

Did you watch the video? you really need to. Then you may realize what I have been saying all along
99% Now where have I heard that before? Try about 5 persons every single time.
