Just going on my small rock pile out front we had to hold back the Fj from flipping.
What's your point? Lockers won't make your ****ty suspension flex.

Alright soon as I round up someone to hold the phone I am posting a video.

The skinny is I will slowely climb up my test pile of boulders while the rear wheel on one side leaves the the ground. I keep going until I go down the other side. All four wheels turning the same.

Front or rear tire opposite sides at least 6" to a foot off the ground. I will creep, no bumping up.

I am sure you boys already have the excuses lined up!

I have come to the conclusion that you are trying to get a rise out of everybody. You can't possibly be this dumb. And if you are being serious. Im sorry for calling you dumb. The only way you will continue forward with 2 wheels off the ground, is either gravity, or you have a traction adding device in one of the differentials and you just dont know it.

Are you SURE you don't have a LSD? LSD will allow you to crawl up something like that, as soon as you start on the skinny that rear tire in the air will start to spin. You can use your e-brake to apply some tension to the wheel off the ground, this can help with the LSD.

Some 8.25's came with LSD stock. The 8.25 in my 98 has stock LSD. What you're describing is not possible with a true open diff. Either you're full of **** or you have a LSD and don't know it.
