This is one of the best promotional videos for lockers I've ever seen. This video is the reason I've just had lockers installed and postponed my suspension upgrade. And I've tested them out and i'm wrapped!! Thankyou!!!! Carl from Melbourne Australia. :)

Well that's an excellent demonstration of lockers. Pretty convincing!

Lockers + awesome suspension = unstoppable and wickedly cool

gotta love the series

Oh thanks I will, I genuinely believed this was the most extreme suspension ever seen until you pointed out other stuff, cheers!

My 110 has front and rear lockers and is unstoppable. Gotta love the Defender

Thanks. I've answered those questions in great detail many times. Just read the comments, it's all there.

never ceased to amaze me landrover never fitted a rear locker at least.

nice car i like it !!!

The doors themselves are a straight fit. The latch is a few inches higher so you will need to fit the striker plate. I found they were prone to springing open when the body flexes whilst off road. I have gone back to Series doors. Mostly so I can remove the tops when running roofless. The windy windows are more practical. Defender doors are expensive too.

great series 2

@keidicko Ian's 90 is a serious bit of kit indeed! He can indeed drive but you are only seeing a small snippet where it was all about cross axle-ing it on purpose.

proof of concept.

Hi mate have you got any info on the defender doors on the series 3 i am looking at doing the conversion is it a straight fit or do you need to modify things?

nice :) defender 1000 rti score .like rear dislocating setup .looks like it went well with no lockers.

3:37....Rear coil seems to be seperated from the shock mount. No wonder why the person taking the video is commenting on "look at the articulation." Also now wonder why he didn't make it up the hill. The tire is bottomed out on the fender well.

It's secured at the axle end and has relocation system at the chassis.

@Mr204ruger Of course not! Pegged ARB RD128 in the rear and an Eaton TrueTrac in the front. Still on standard Series 4.7:1 gearsets.

You are very right.

Dislocation cones seem to more hassle than they are worth. Longer springs and shocks would be preferable and would keep pressure on the wheels

just goes to show what I think all the time! in the long run, though it seems like a lot to pay at the outset, stock suspension and a locker is really the best route!

in the front I.F.S. and rear axle of my 86 Toyota 4x4, in mud and ruff terrain(mountainous area here in Alabama) primarily trail riding, just taking on what ever come along on the trails. i have not changed any gears so they are still factory as far as i know.

Ideally, you would have both lockers and suspension.

there is no doubt that lockers are brillant at offroad, and the best option there is.. I would pick lockers anytime over high springrate.. to make an all around offroad vehicle

@landyladv8 LSD or Torque biasing diffs in the front of a permanent 4wd can give understeer and heavier steering. But with power steering on a 110 I would think it would be good. Truetracs are very strong and smooth in operation. Not as much traction off-road as a full locker but less likely to break things and allows you better steering. I took mine out when I went permanent 4wd as mine is very short and doesn't have power steering. I miss it off road though.

All show and no go ;)

Detroit or ARB are known as the standard in the US. I run the Grizzle from Yukon Gear which is identical to the Detroit. I run them in a old Jeep cause Jeeps are the best off-road vehicle made (Actually it is all about strong axles, lockers, and a engine that will stay on rev. limiter for a long time, when needed. None of which come with anything built on an assembly line). Check out the Atlas transfer case too. Its made by Advanced Adapters and allows you to select front wheel drive and 2low

TrueTrac torque biasing unit in the front then. Ashcroft full air locker in the front now.

Having built a few suspensions for different applications I can say with 100% certainty that the way the spring came unseated during its cycle makes that much flex useless. The guy who said that the problem is that there's no weight on that side when the spring is just hanging there is 100% correct. You can have all the flex in the world but if there's no weight on one or more tires you won't have traction on that corner. If this person installs some softer and much longer springs to compliment the travel and the shocks he'd likely get up and over quite handily.

How do? Like ya film what engine are ya running in the series an is it a standard set up otherwise I.e axles transmission etc

I think thats a good test showing what each systems can do, i have a 110 and am thinking about a rear locker after seeing this video. I heard that an lsd diff on the front axle makes it handle funny, or do you have to spin the wheels to engage it?

It's called "knowing your line". It is something people without lockers learn if they want to get around. ;)

thanks

@landroverowner195 235/85R16 Insa Turbo Special Tracks on 8k16 rims.

what lockers are you running?

Which one ;o) The pegged ARB in the back or the TrueTrac in the front?

sounds like a place where a friend of mine lives in the four corners area.colorado,new mexico,arizonia,nevada. farminton new mexico. he leaves work its 60 degrees he gets home its 25 to 30 degrees during the summer time. think he said he's about somewhere tween 6,800-7,500. ft a.s.l. he said when he first moved there he stayed sick, but now he's adjusted.L.O.L.

Sweet, have you just got a locker on the rear or have you gone for the added no steering version, one on the front too? nice vid, got to love the Suzuki avoiding the problem with the holes though. I like to do the green lanes, but love to see people digging up pay and play sites. 4x4 Enjoy!

It depends on how you will be using it, in what and where?

whats the lump in the series? and which lockers are you using?

Can someone please explain to me how that disengaging coil spring works? This is the first time I've seen a coil spring just dangle at full articulation, then reconnect. Is this by design or buy accident?

@flight2k5 Well said that man.

Lol, what a wind up to the guy in the shiny 90

I like his B reg 300 defender just a shame he cant drive it !

200 Tdi ex Discovery. Front Eaton Truetrac. Rear ARB Air Locker.

Lockers should be mandatory!! ;)

what size of tyre does the series has??

sorry for the english...but wich kind of pieces have you installed on this series??!!please answer as soon as you can!!

@flight2k5 You can think that all you want, but if you are familiar st all with Moab, Utah, the place I live is a little more extreme than even Moab. I have to go on trails that are more extreme than in this video just to go to Walmart (208-miles one-way). You have to know how to drive a 4X4 just to live here. Imagine trails that are worse than this, but put a foot of snow on them, too. It is 7100' ASL where I am sitting right now, so it snows for 9-10 months out of the year and is -30 at night.

up with the 88 series!!!

Herrington Woods near Sunderland.

It's designed to dislocate. It's in the wing, so what, I don't know why that matters, one goes up the other side goes down.

@MonkeyMotorSport No offense, I am a little dubious about having him on some of the trails that I use here in the state of Nevada and Utah; I take my Jeep XJ to places that makes that place look quite sedate. I do it on 31X10.5s, 3" of lift, and a factory LSD rear diff. I am going to put a Yukon Spartan locker in the front eventually, since I have found a few circumstances where a locker in the front will worker better than anything -- having both, of course, would be the only way to fly!

Hello Spring! Coming out to say hi @ 3:36?

@Giovanni406husky Rear ARB RD128 Air locker. Pegged. 4.7:1 KAM 24 Spline ½shafts Front Eaton TrueTrac. 4.7:1

Lockers every time baby

No, it isn't. Sway bars aren't fitted to this vehicle so no need of a device to disconnect what isn't there. It has a system to relocate the springs which are free to dislocate.

yes

Chris, in the Suzuki, cheated by driving round the holes! I built up his Lockrite for him btw! He now has a Tomcat.

"Properlander" vs "Suzuki Gaylander"

lockers will almost always win haha :) nice vid lads, where is this place it looks the dogs bollocks!

@diegomayan My Landy is indeed a bit of an old beast. Some scrote tried to steal it last night, grrrr!

diesel sound's like buffalo

I know have a new appreciation for the beauty of the Jeep Wrangler.

did the landy have a front locker? it didn't look like it. I bet it would not have had that bit of trouble at the end with a arb air locker. nice video!

defender 90 would be un stoppable if had diff lockers all round

@ SonofLiberty79 "I have seen a Hummer climb a 12 foot vertical wall made of concrete." IMPOSSIBLE, it either was not 12 feet, or it was not vertical.

Someone can tell me what series of land Rover is ?

both!!! lol

Is that a backhanded way of saying you think Land Rovers are ugly? Or, maybe even the Jimny lol!

I bet he would have done better with x-springs fitted, dislocation is useless, but yet so many aim to achieve it!

And stock

Those are 265/75R16 so wider than you are running. It's all down to what terrain you are running on and if you use the same tyres on the road to commute to work I guess. If you never got stuck you should try something harder. No fun in playing on what you know to be easy.

land rover series 2

hi guys all i call say is in my opinion "NOTHING" like a Toyota reguardless of age or type exspecially with lockers. i believe they would climb trees like bears or better. by the way what is the best locker in your opinion.

Having a limited slip diff in a 4x4 is like putting perfume on a pig !!!

left rear shock is broken and dangling on the axle, no wonder (and why am I the only one seeing this?)

No lockers on the jimny!

Give your head a shake man!

Completely different type of suspension. You might as well say, "Where is the Ferrari?"

land rover 109

where is the extreme suspention? search baja trophy truck or even preruner

@MonkeyMotorSport scuse me,but i'm so ignorant on this matter,and i don't understand anything,can you explain better than the previous message??!

is not a extreme suspension but a broken rear suspension thoug

@kc8ntp when people say crap like this it makes me laugh.

you cheat with your diff lock rob :P

They aren't skinny they are the correct size. Fat tyres are for posers.

your spring popping off the spring perch is not good my friend!!!! get a locker and forget the speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Had a Jeep Rubicon and a Toyota 4runner and Toyotas are shit in my humble opinion I drove circles around them Hummers and everything I encountered with my Jeep.

ha ha ha ha he spent all that money on stupid springs and a stock jiminy gets up there ha ha ha get some lockers

what engine is it?
