I knew it. The video is not at all what you said you would post. Oh and now all of a sudden you say that there are benefits to having lockers? You absolutaly 100% agree? maybe you should reread the thread. This sucks.

Well sorry I seem like a troll. And sorry that I don't agree with you 100percent. I did not know that disagreeing with people got you banned? Damn that sucks. Now we all have to think alike?
lockers are harder on axles, and they will bog your motor down because no tire is able to break free from the traction. There is a constant pull on the axles and components. With an open diff the tire with less traction breaks free and makes it easier on components because there is no pressure. Its not rocket science and I can't believe anyone is arguing this! Fact is its easier to spin two tires with no traction than 4 tires. Just watch a mud bog for petes sake!
I would still opt for lockers given the money, no one is arguing this. I can't for the life of me figure out what the argument is?!~!!!!
So here is the video, and while its not much your going to have a tough time convincing me my awesome wheeling experience this weekend was a fluke, and the trucks I wheeled with really were not locked. They just said they were to make me feel good
I don't care if the front wheel was barely touching the ground, the jeep pulled me through an obstacle that was not a cake walk for a stock truck at the LEAST. And a stock fj would have rolled. I know this because we already tried it with an FJ. He had to lock it in just to get on the smaller rock. And it was off of the smaller rock that we had to hold him from rolling it.
So again the point of this thread originally was how well the cherokee does with a little tweaking of the suspension and some tires with out lockers. This video does show some potential. And my stock suspension is working thank you.

I know exactly how the open diffs break one wheel free. Truthfully mine is hard to get to break free now. It tracks great. And that was my whole point. Am sorry this whole thing got out of control. I did not see that coming for certain.
Funny thing is if we were all on a trail ride there would not be any crap talk, it would just be a lot of fun.
