Pretty awesome for not having lockers. I love watching people with LSD or even open diff getting through stuff like this. It really shows you what a good driver looks like.

@MrJoshItIs 2 жыл бұрын

One of the boys in my Jeep club has a similarly built TJ but with open diffs. I am fully locked. He has shown me up multiple times on hard obstacles and it just goes to show his decade plug of seat time versus me only having a couple years makes a difference. It just motivates me to keep learning and watching.

Nothings stopping you, it won't exactly be an xj or a wrangler, but a wj can be nearly as badass with almost as much aftermarket!

@ThePaulv12 3 жыл бұрын

In 4x4s there's a good case for fully floating rear ends. In a full floater the axle only has to handle torque and the axle housing takes the weight. If you break an axle (which is far less likely since there's no direct weight on it) then you can drive home on the front diff and still winch out with all four wheels still in tact. Toyota Landcruisers esp the FJs nearly all of the 1970 onward had fully floating rear ends and axle breakage was pretty rare.
