Your dad's smile as he's cruising through those ruts is priceless haha he's loving it!

Great to see your dad having a chat, such a special time to have your dad (an Kai) with you . I lost my dad last year and I miss him everyday, I miss our adventures

Your dad is such a great character, grumpy but silent. Watching him smile is so nice. ❤️

You’re going to have to edit out all the footage of Dad showing you up now mate

Great Vid Tyler. Your Dad’s smile said it all, many more adventures.

Great video. Adding a rear locker adds a huge amount of traction and capability. Adding front and rear lockers will cost more than my Ford Expedition is worth, so I am going with a rear locker and just stay with the front limited slip. Thanks man!

Hey mate, I watch all your videos. The thing that separates you from all 4x4 vids is you are real. You speak the truth to all newbies looking for adventure. It's mad you ain't smashing tracks in an unaffordable 80's or GU patrol. Much respect mate. Keep up the great work. 🙂

This video is put together beautifully. It is informative and enjoying to watch as well...so, thank you so much and wish you all the best.

I have a Mahindra pik up with an Eaton rear locker (Detroit auto locker)... i think the diff remains open (unlocked) until there is slip in difference between the hubs, in which it then engages and locks the diff. It’s auto because its constantly always ON, but only engages when the conditions are right... automatically...

The video that blow up KZfaq!!!

Timely vid Tyler. The Misses and I just came back from an early season camping trip on Vancouver Island, BC. We got bogged badly on a sandbar. My wife clearly experienced the lack of a locker. This will give her a clear explanation of what a locker can do. The content gave me a great rational for deciding between front or rear, electric or air. Thanks it was really good info. Keep it up Bro.

Me too I just installed a rear locker after 3 and a half years. A whole new definition of capable!

That's definitely transformed the muX 👍🏻 old man seems impressed 😁

Dads new favourite toy haha 🙂

Great video mate, plus now the bonus of your dad keeping up with you on your trips, is going to make it that bit more enjoyable for him as well.

great to watch mate, sure makes a big difference. ya cant stop ya dad now he is locked n loaded cheers from 2 west aussies in Saudi

What a difference it made. He's gonna love it. I reckon his tyres will last a lot longer now too

Sunday morning coffee and TT. It's a tradition now.

Ive got ARB twin locked Triton and have no issues steering while both lockers engaged. It may affect live axles more than IFS and you do feel the heavy steering but i can turn full lock no issues. So far have driven heaps of hard tracks with both and have had no negatives. Having the torque split over all 4 wheels makes it so stable and idles over things I wouldn't of believed prior.

Great video mate. A lot of people turn their nose up at the price. But you can clearly see why. There's a lot of work involved in fitting it properly.

Great to see, A lot less effort to drive tracks now. Easier on the driveline as well. Now the front locker for you Tyler.

waiting for your dads smile.. and there it is.. sensational - 5 thumbs up

Another episode from 4x4 Jesus Tyler. The 4x4 Prayer; Our Lockers, who art in diffs, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Traction come, thy will be done, On mud as it is on roads. Give us This day, our daily tread, and Forgive us our rollovers, as we Forgive those who roll against us And lead us not into bottomless Bogholes, but deliver us from Breakage, for thine is the lift kit, and the Flowmasters, and the Swampers for ever and ever, AMEN

Nice, one of the best vids for showing the difference a locker makes. Your dad is stoked

Hey Tyler I think you may have created a monster, the old fella will want his own channel now !

Hey, would love to see a locker review on the MUX now that it’s been put through it’s paces some more!

I think you’re right to go with the rear for touring, it makes more sense. Very thorough run through on the locker! Great content mate!!

You can see deep down that your dad is very excited and thrilled to have that locker.

He's coming for you now Tyler 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

With IFS front locker does help your CVs big time

Looks like a new lead vehicle, mux 1st nav number 2 .

The MUX is going to be an animal, i was impressed with how it went anyway, it's going to be a beast now.

Thats awesome mate. There will be no stopping the old boy now.

I'm doing up a LandCruiser 80 series at the moment and decided to go auto Lokka in the rear and Elocker in the front. By the looks of your Dad's face it has transformed the MUX into a very capable 4WD. I can't wait to see your next video and the Smiles per Miles your Dad is going to get now with the new elocker.

What an informative video on the Harrop locker install... Also well done on the explanation of locker types and there use... Good one mate !

Well that explains lockers so simply, after buying the Hilux was told it has twin air lockers. Great vid mate

Impressive vehicle with the rear lock

This vlog will definitely get me one for my Mux. Thanks Tyler.

Had an auto lokka in the front of a courier, air locker in rear. Good video. TJM locker is very well designed.

My 4JJ1 powered RC Colorado has a rear LSD. I plan to fit an auto locker to the front.

That's a great improvement. I might need to get a locker too

Todd certainly looked like he knows what he is doing. Very impressed with what he was doing and the answers to your questions. It’s going to take a while to get that smile off your dads face! 😂 Well explained by you too Tyler. Have fun out there boys! 👍

Wow wot a DIFF ERENCE great video mate I'm going out to Lithgow Thursday don't think il take on the power lines track in the fortuner just yet still moding it 👍👍

Your dad is now going to enjoy his MUX 👊 good choice

This is one of your finest videos Tyler, absolutely love it. What a difference in capability with that diff lock. And to your workshop that fitted it, this is such good publicity to them, I just might travel interstate to get them to fit a sorely needed diff lock for me, they just exuded confidence and knowledge, kudos to them

I would go front first but that's personal preference I do a lot of climbing in my patrol and the rear lsd is pretty good

Your dad is a happy man good stuff 👍✌

Another great video mate. Informative and “dumbed down” for blokes like me. Again the outtakes make me laugh.

Great instructional and detailed video Tyler - removes the mystery and confirms my intention for installing an electronic rear diff locker in the near future for the Hilux - air lockers would be OK but too many things to go wrong ‘out there’ - John in SA

Great video. Best locker explanation yet. As always the end of the video never disappoints.

holy crap them Elockers are pretty good, made such a difference

Another great vid, tyler explains things in simple understandable terms. Love all his vids.

How good are the chuckles from the old man :D great explanation vid!

I agree with you mate rear locker you benefit more from I had a old gq Patrol I got the chance too fit a arb air locker in the rear and the difference is amazing

I really enjoy the video Tyler, Thanks

What a massive difference. 👍🇦🇺

I was confused until I saw your illustration. Thank you for sharing your artistic skills 😂. Seriously though, great mod, well done, about time! Have fun out there, shiny side up rubber side down.

Another grate vid mate I can’t wait for the Lithgow vid to drop my local tracks

Another good upload mate good info on lockers 👍

Great explanation great to watch

Great video buddy, very well explained, man that cars a beast now, I want one for my 4wd, your dad couldn’t stop smiling 👍👍👍🇻🇬🇻🇬🇻🇬🔝🔝

Been watching your videos for a long time man and i gotta say you are one of my favourite content creators! Keep up the awesome work mate

Best and most professional video you've put out imo. Fantastic footage and can't wait till you both get front lockers. Now you'll have to find different filler content than dad struggling 2m up the base of a hill 😉

Going to make a works of difference. No more chicken tracks

Awesome! This should stop telling everyone telling Gary he needs a locker!

Now that the rear locker is in place it's time for a front Autolocker :) Much cheaper than the Elocker, although probably labour is just as expensive to install in an IFS vehicle. I put an Autolocker in the front of my Patrol myself total cost $400 plus some diff oil. Would never have attempted it on an IFS. Result fabulous, I love my locker - same huge smiles as your dad is now throwing :)

Front locker on IFS can overload the cv and break it.

Lockers get the smiles ey ? 😁😁😁 That MuX is a weapon now, wait til U put 285x75x16 s on it

Your dad was wrapped... Good vid......

Looking forward to the MUX out driving the Nav! :)

Nice work mate :)

Another quality vid from you mate, and I've been watching since the early days and I know how often people have commented on the mighty mux and it's need for a locker. Brilliant stuff and as many have said - great to see how stoked your Dad is with it. I thought the video of the mechanic doing it was great too - not a lot of mechanics (I don't think) would allow you to be so 'in there'...I also laughed out loud when you explained the 'we' about you and the mechanic doing stuff, you being there annoying him hahah. Quality stuff champ. Keep it up!

It is a offroad machine now

You nailed lockers with this video. All questions answered very well. BTW, Isuzu shouldn't even advertise they have traction control. I've seen it's terrible since the Dmax first came out.

Congratulations!

Great episode.. Cheers 👍

Even though he has a locker now, we're still gonna ask about it hahahha. Love ya mate

Awsome content mate as always

It's a misconception that with a open center diff, torque is sent to the wheel with the least resistance. Torque is always equal to both wheels, in all situations.

Another great video! As you know I watch with my 4yo boy... this time he said 'daddy he really needs to shave or else he will get itchy'. 🤣😂

I was so hesistant in putting lockers in my d40 due to the price being 4600 for dual air lockers. But every car i own after this lockers will be one of the first mods.

I could be thinking about this wrong, but pretty sure there's nothing wrong with saying power goes to the wheel with no traction. Torque is fine too, but it basically is the same problem either way in this specific situation (i.e. the wheels in the air spin and you go nowhere). Would be interested to know why you thought you had to make that correction. Also, I think if I were going to go about it, I'd be installing an air locker in the rear, and auto-locker in the front. Air-locker seems to behave a little more predictably than an E-locker according to what I've heard about it.

Ask MalaKAI if he wants to go back to do THAT track in the MUX. Haha.

So good. That MUX ate it up!

Front lockers next on the shopping list ?

I'd reckon both you & your dad would love Sundown National Park (Red Rock Gorge) in between Stanthorpe & Tenterfield. I'd love to go back.... Get in touch...

beard looks a lot neater mate 😉

Nice video mate! I remember you mentioned you were a school teacher! Surely you taught art? 😂

Your Dad looked stoked with the difference. He's going to be right on your heels now Tyler.

I'm happy for you and your reduced workload. Please tell your dad to remember all the skills he acquired picking the right line before lockers. With lockers, it is possible to ignore some of those tricks and form new habits. Is that powerlines on the way to Glow worm tunnels from Lithgow?

Another good vid mate👍 Is the Nav getting a front locker anytime soon?

What are they building next to the wombat holes.

Yeehaa! At last! Gazza has so much experience driving with open diffs and probably the worst traction control system ever invented, he will be hard to stop now.

A rear locker will take you to 95% of the places you need to go

Unlocking during direction changes is not an E locker problem it's an Eaton/harrop E locker problem.

Turnering 😂😂

Kyle get my gun

Hi just interested to know - with the e-locker engaged does the front traction control still work? Thanks

Another 3 likes from me mate

What's that clicking noise? Is it just the tyres or something in the diff?
