No matter what kind of info I'm trying to find on 4WDing, I always end up back on this channel because it's one of the few that get straight to the point! Keep it up mate, learning heaps
I like the "surface to air missile" on the front of that Toyota!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
Stealth tuner antenna??
Haaaa😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
it's bloody cold in the morning, so I'm just gonna keep moving around... said so in shorts. #STRAYA.
You know it's cold in 'Straya when the mate is wearing 2 pairs of shorts.
Bloody cold is probably 15 Celsius.
I was thinking the same! Perhaps he is wearing his kangaroo boxers mate!
Z MiBanana lol I was thinking the same thing
I reckon in certain areas of Australia they have similar weather to us in south Africa because it's very cold in the mornings and by 10am you happy to be in you're shorts.
DIfferential locks are also especially important for inexperienced off-road drivers. They provide so much better control in even moderately difficult terrain.
Just watched his newest video then saw this after. Wow has he come a long way. Good for you 👍🏼 7yrs is a long time.
I drive Renault Clio 3, but I enjoyed this video very much! Good job!
Great summary, everything you need to know in concise form. Very helpful to show my wife! :)
Great video Ronny. Lockers might be an expensive initial purchase, but when you see so many 4wd's with panel damage, mechanical damage and the risk some drivers put themselves in by going flat stick up a hill it really makes sense when experienced 4wd enthusiasts say ''slow and steady wins the race''.
The best video on explaining differential lockers I have ever come across!!!! Really thank you!!
Ronny, i like how practical and informational your videos are. Keep it up. Also the aussie accent makes it fun to watch.
Every time I watch one of you videos, I learn something new. Thanks mate.
I'm just starting out 4wd-ing and found this video so helpful - thank you!
Loving your channel Ronny . First one ill go to for advice , I am new to the 4WD world. Just purchased a new SR Hilux , so looking forward to my adventures. I have 5 weeks holiday next year , so I coming your way ... CHEERS!!
Diff locks, or limited slip, is great for doing "donuts" and "cookies" on icy parking lots too! Great way to show the grandkids that grandpa is still pretty cool!
Man I wish I could buy a 70 series in the states
They are so good man
Me too
Thank you so much, I'm learning a lot about 4x4. I just got my 1st 4x4 finally, it's a 1999 Toyota 4 Runner. Your other video about 4x4 was very helpful. This video was as well, I had no clue what the differential locker was until your video. Now after your videos I know more about my 4x4 and it's differential locker. Thank you bro great videos. New subscriber right here.
This was incredibly helpful and useful video that everyone who is interested in wheeling should watch. Thank you sir.
Excellent explanation of dif lockers! Never had a clue they existed until I was looking for a small onboard air compressor! Thanks!
Excellent synopsis. HDJ81 Triple Locked owner here. Thank you for posting!
got twin lockers from arb and it uses the same compressor i use for pumping the tyres up too
I love my Daihatsu Terios. All-wheel-drive with diff locks. Awesome explanation 🇳🇿👍
Great informative video...defininately answered this newbie's questions. Thanks!
Cheers for the great video mate.
My first vehicle (94 troopy) came with a rear air locker, you've given me a good understanding on how and when to use it.. Cheers from FNQ
American here. Hence forth I shall call a diff lock a locker in an Aussie accent. Love it. I swear, Aussies are American brothers from other mothers. Cheers sir!
subscribed ! i have been a fan of off-road travelling for many years and finally got myself a ST PATROL....
love ya videos mate gave me alot of knowledge ....
The best description on this topic, Great job Sir.
excellent Video , thanks for taking the time to pass this information on, I asked the dealer what the hell the diff lock was in my 2014 Patrol, he couldnt explain it to me, so thanks bud.
Excellent explanation of the use and difference between front and rear diffs.
Had fun watching the video. A lot of good advice and info. I run selectable lockers both front and rear. I also have a twin stick. So much fun. The great thing about selectable lockers is you can have a bit of fun trying an obstacle open/open but still know you have the option of locking it in and getting down to business. A bit of a tease at the end with the front/rear locker video. I am going to vote 'front' as the way to go. ;)
Thanks for the video man. I had a real hard time finding an explanation about diff lockers online but your video is packed with quality info.
Great instructional video Ronny...Thanks!
When I was younger I was easily a front guy. As I get older, I appreciate rears more. Don't get me wrong, a nice front is still a thing of beauty, but I'm not as picky as I used to be.
Good to see you acknowledged my question...
if I was going off-road for the first time I would definitely want someone like you with me great video and thank you
I didn't understand it so far. Until your explanation. Thank you
currently running an rear automatic locker on my Tacoma. I honestly can't say how much it's helped me, since it's always "on", but I'm pretty sure it came in handy at least a few times. My Tacoma does have traction control system, but my particular model doesn't have traction control in 4 lo, which is why I went with the rear auto locker just in case. And traction control is another thing I can't say how beneficial it has been.
Thanks for this simple explanation, will buy an off roader soon and learning in the meantime.
Appreciated!
Great explanations and suggestions. This really helped me.
04Jun2021 and here I am using this video to explain to a newbie how the use of a diff lock is nice for the vehicle and the track...thanks Mr Dahl...
helpful, informative! Great Job Ronnie.
Aussie folks are great, thanks for the infos
Brilliant!!! Congrats!
Even a cheep ratchet locker gives such an improvement. And thanks for mentioning not tearing up the trails. And definately agree with IFS lockers,but go selective.
Excellent video on diff lockers. Answered a bunch of questions.
I drive a 02 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 with factory rear locker. With a 3" lift. I have only used it 3 times and all 3 times it just crawled out. Thanks for the content you supply! P.S. Howdy from NE. GA. USA
One con I find is this. I'm the first one up, and then I have to winch the rest of the group or the guy who I overtook on my way.
NO ! NO ! NO ! ........Just keep driving and don’t look back ! 😂
Depending on 4wd I drive a patrol I would go front locker.
😂😂😂 Agreed!
Great tips Ronny. thanks for sharing
Good explanation and demo. Thank you.
Great video Ronny. Really practical and useful.
Great vid mate, I'm new to 4wd so this helped a lot. Thanks!
Cheers ronny, new to offroading, this helps me a lot
I used to lock my rear when I would get stopped, as you demonstrated. My most recent vehicle has mechanical locker rear plus Torsion differential up front. I have not been stopped so far to need to engage the rear locker. I have used the rear locker just to keep it exercised a bit. The Torsion axle seems to be a wonderful thing except for cost.
Great video. I like the rear locker and only use the front when really needed on a straightaway.
I agree the rear is the most important. I have TruTracs in the front of my van and so far with ARB in the back it seems to work very well. If I get a front wheel off the ground I need to apply a little brake and it pulls right out of everything I've tested on so far.
Love that entrance
good info thank you, I am off on a 4WD trip to Namibia for seven weeks. Going solo so I am double checking everything.One track is a less or not at all drive used
Excellent video , just bought Aussie lunchbox lockers front and rear for an 87 ifs Toyota . I appreciate the info. Don't wanna be breaking anything not knowing what I'm doing.
You won't get a choice when to use lunchbox lockers, they operate automatically.
spot on Ronny, rear diff lock is definitely the most used
Fantastic video man, thanks for the straight to the point video!
Great explanation mate! Thank you!
First time user
Great explanation
Cut BS and got to th topic.excellent
U hav won me over
Thank u.
Great advice on how and why to use lockers. Two weeks ago I killed my non-lockable front diff because of too much wheel spin and then some sudden traction, the torque ripped parts of the diff out. Getting a lockable front diff now!
Thanks for keeping it simple great video
very useful clear and explicit , thanks .
ive got 2 Detroit lockers... rear always locked and front can lock both or different sides by unlocking the hubs... so nice... lockers are a requirement (to me) as you can clearly see the ease of them in your video. nice rig as well!!!
Thanks Ronny, well explained.
Very informative, thank you
Very nice explanation. Thanks.
Love your videos. Agree with having a rear locker if its only one locker. I also believe the front drive system is not designed to handle the forces involved when using a locked diff and rear diff being open. Many 4WDs that come with factory fitted lockers the front cannot be locked independently of the rear. Its rear only or rear and fwd. I have seen many 4WDs with after market lockers that have broken their front drive system and busted diffs while having only the front diff locked.
I love this video because I wasn't sure if you should have them on all the time offroad or when to disengage them.
Great explanation - thanks!
I order that bull bar,side bars and side steps for my 79 after seeing yours, I did not know that size bar was available (63mm)
Awesome vid mate - front and rear lockers are now on the top of my list have on my next set up !!
A very good explanation Ronny Thankyou
Another very informative video - Thanks Ronny!
spsingam thanks mate
Perfect video, now I know how to use my truck off-road properly, wasted 8 mins watching some guys with a raptor try to explain it and still didn’t learn a lick of information
I recently got stuck in the mud and snow while off roading, it took me some work and about 15 minutes to get out but I credit my rear locker most.
So much retro nostaligia here. Weird seeing how the rig looked then too compared to now. Ronny has inproved his delivery too and hopefully those boardies have never seen light of day since.
Thank you for you reply !
I dream of off-roading in Aussie one day.
Best Regards
marinermonty no probs mate
great video!!!! thanks for sharing!!!! great info!!!!
Great explanation thank you mate!!
I usually just go till I need to lock up, unless I’m water crossing or up something hairy where I NEED to make it first shot and not stop and wait, they also help keep tires from spinning and chunking out on rocks. Winch and lockers are necessary if you really want to get off road. Lots of info good job
Well explained mate, thanks
good explaining video thank you very much
Another great video. Cheers!
Hey mate would love to see a locker brand review and comparison type video love your vids mate keep em coming cheers 👍
Thanks Ronny for the infor
Really appreciated, thanks!
That truck is beast!
Michael S fuck man you should hear that v8 roar on inclines. Amazing
Awesome video, thanks!
Very helpful thanks 😊
I've got Spartan lockers and love them! Also they can be a little noisy sometimes. I just engage my four-wheel drive and put my front hubs in when I get off-road and they kick in when I need them. Just pretty much forget about them after that until I take it out of 4 wheel drive.
Thanks mate from across the ditch 👍🇳🇿
Thanks Ronny. Another great vid. I found that the factory lockers wont work individually...ie when the front locker is selected the rear locker remains engaged.
Thank you that did help me.
Very cool video brother! And a very cool looking rig too! Thank for sharing the video 👍 Awesome
I learnt a lot from you.Thankyou. Nagaland,India.
Good info and nice rig👍
Great video, thank you
Tnx for the insight!
