the bird is driving me crazy

Challenging off-roading with open differentials is a "circus juggler" thing. Open differentials are only used on paved roads, already on a dirt road it is always the case to lock the central one (for those who have it) and when off-road becomes demanding, ALWAYS close all the differentials that can be closed. This is the "serious" way to go off-roading.

Really enjoyed the video, reminded me of my younger years.

I assume he finally made it up, but I just couldn't handle those birds long enough to see, lol

Been off roading since I was a kid. Drove California foothill 4wd "Jeep" trails. In those days, there were NO "lockers"...everything was "open". Been in situations just like this, and had the same kind of trouble this guy did, but as others commented, a better line could have been taken. Have an FJ Cruiser with the electric locker in the rear, but to date it has gotten me in more trouble than out of trouble, priimarily due to mud and snow applications rather than the dry conditions here.

nice video thanks to posting it is very important to has a van with two locked differential

Never thought I’d say it but dude I want a van

Also, thumbs up for getting up there.

Great movie, super comparison

A few rain drops and the party for cars with open diffs is over.

Wicked! Mini vans 4x4!!

which locks used?

Wowantonlavey: the driver of the van without the lockers is very capable offroad with plenty of experience with his van.

On that first run, it went up that hill like a tank. lol wow

BREAKING NEWS: The second van does have a LSD in the rear (not the drug: Limited Slip Differential!). I already wondered at the time how RumBUS would get up this rough track.

Eye opening, now do I know that passenger van if equipped properly ( MT tyres and Locker) is able to be as good as other dedicated 4x4. Thanks.

Как готовились машины можно будет показать?

What sort of diff lockers are using very interested as I've just bought an L300 and want to have full 4WD capability thanks very much any info would be appreciated live in Australia

Put in LSD axel non LSD gearoil and the LSD clutch plates "glue" together and lock near 100% ha ha.We have this problem on several LSD where the customer use the wrong (non LSD) gear oil (Hilux;Supra) ! Maybe it helps offroad.But its also lock 100% on the street !

For me better have 2x4 but with rear differential lock than 4x4 with open diff.
