Your biggest problem is those horrible ko2’s. Those things are like skates. Remember a hard compound that lasts a long time is horrible on ice. Softer compounds for the win.

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and I definitely know what not to do in the snow.

Great video! Thank you I just bought my first Toyota, a 24 TRD OR. The systems are a little confusing. That cleared it all up!

I've never seen a real man slide off a straight road like that before. I would expect it with a female! That's what I think of you!

Great Vid. 30 plus years of repairing these ARB Airleakers has pretty much paid off my house. They also (10 + yrs back?) 'standardised' a lot of the locker centres, leading to (in a lot of cases) a much smaller set of side gears/pins etc than what was in the original and earlier ARB centres. Edit - as clean and meticulous as you do the install.... wont help with any bearing /gear material that will (not a matter of if) end up destroying either the 2 quad O'rings or the bigger actuator seal. If there's an option for fitting a TJM ProLocker , go with one of those instead. No centre 'shrinkage,' no O'rings on moving parts.

GREAT explanation!

A-Trac is great.

Stay out of the salt water especially with a body on frame vehicle.

What is that moulding on Steve's front end where he high clearanced the front fender called?

I've got a 2013 Jeep JK & 2018 Jeep JL, both with Teraflex 60's under them and ARB's F&R, 42" tires, 5:19's and weight about 6000-6200 lbs, I have a 53 Willys CJ3B, 9" rear w/spool, Dana 44 front with Yukon Zip Locker (air), 5:89's, 40" tires, #3400 lbs and a 2000 Toyota 4Runner with rear E-locker and front lunchbox locker. In the last 2 years I've had 4 of the 5 air lockers fail while on the trail and then fail again after repairing them. I carry everything to rebuild one on the trail. The Zip locker is the least reliable of the air lockers. The 3 jeeps have a grand total of maybe 20,000 miles on them. 2 of them are just off road rigs and the JL only has 10K on it. My 2000 4runner is about to pass 330,000 miles, 3.4l, TRD black supercharger on it, URD 7th injector and bunch of mods. I have wheeled the living crap out of this 4 runner, especially the last 3 years or so. It's seen hard abuse for 33" tires. The E-locker in the runner has never failed me, ever. It always works, even after blowing the seal out of the rear axle and running it low on fluid and filled with water on an occasion. It always engages with a little slip of a tire but has never been an issue. A good mechanic can bypass some of the features to get the locker to engage when you want it at any speed in high or low range.

Wow! Hey, enjoy your channel. Take care of each other so we can continue to enjoy more content from BOTH of you.

That's a tough looking track. Those rocks can easily puncture a tire!

Great job in making this video 👍👍👍

doesn't the front one break with a locked differential if you do it right and left?

Hi, you mention in the video the "front" locker"? I thought the 4Runner 5th gen only has a rear locker?

Where did you film this? It’s a beautiful location.

Right on sir 👍I've been there a few times one time i drove over the top of a closed road gate and had no clue it was even there then after driving a few miles I got stuck for 2 days in 5 feet of snow

So if I’m on the beach in 4 hi and put it on mud and sand if I exceed 7 mph it will turn off multi terrain select mud and sand and it will just be in 4hi ?

I keep seeing an orange backboard strapped to 4runners, including your video. What is this for?

These guys have a great sense of humour

Where can you go that this is allowed? Most coastlines I've been on are private or protected.

Late to the party...Stock 4Runner appropriate for this bit of the ORBDR?

14:58 looks a lot to me like he smashed his front end into the road. Lol. Great video. Thanks for posting :-)

ko2 sucks man. They are tough, but in snow, ice and rocks, they are skates. A softer compound is better for offroading. Yes, maybe a little less miles out of them, but its definitely worth it.

You ought to know 1985 was the last year Toyota offered a front live axle. You cannot say you have a front locking axle on any Toyota after that year unless you preformed a solid axle swap.

wait you said you have a live front axle and a locker on the front of that vehicle at 5:00 in?

Pro level overlanders.

I’ve heard good things about the Eaton but I’ve never owned one. If you get one, I’d be interested in your thoughts on it.

Love the banter and pranking, plus fantastic knowledge too. Cheers guys from Oz 🇦🇺👍

Do 4runners offer true front lockers from the factory?

Excellent video!

Stock 4runner make this ride?

What’s the setup tire size and wheel and lift on the grey 4 runner

What size and offset on the method 702’s you are running? Great channnel .. Thanks!

What is your ground clearance and tire size/type

Was that up by trout creek campground?

I live in Utah where some of the heaviest snow in the country is. 90% of this video is correct but I have never had to use snow tires I believe the whole snow tire thing is kind of a scam like wearing underwear. Anyway good video …

Garbage , mine failed and they are not reliable.

The Limited does not come with MTS/crawl control, but has full time 4WD. Is it worth giving up full time 4WD to get those two features in your experience?

@12:19 why are your lights flashing?

Front locker? How do we switch that on? Didn't know we even had it.

Great banter, you guys should come down here for a trip you’d fit right in!! Greetings from Aus 🇦🇺👌

LOL.... good one!

Here's an idea.Learn how to drive.

Nice fish

So you didnt already have a rear Locker.

I've been driving my 4Runner since 2017, ALL OVER TARNATION...and I'm ashamed to say that I never even tried out the crawl control! But I'm going camping on the beach next week, so I'll try it out. Thanks for this!

All good points, but the biggest hinderance for these two 4Runners is all the extra weight that they are carrying around.

So knowledge outperforms pushing a button. Go figure

Superb explanation and analysis of Crawl Control. I have a new 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail and now I'm going to dig into the manual to see what differences I discover, and see how eKDSS might change the Lexus recommendations. Thanks again for making such an informative video.
