Great video! Do more with air lockers, e lockers, and auto lockers. Keep up the good work.
So the ultimate solution is to keep all lockers on all the time and negotiate every turn via 4 wheel drifting...
Wanted to let you know that between you and Robert Pepper you've literally saved my life with your information on winching and safety. All your other content has made me a better more well rounded off roader and I truly appreciate you and your content. Thank you
one other thing to keep in mind in an open diff, if one tire is stuck and the other is free spinning, the free spinning tire can spin up to 2x faster than it would in a normal situation vs what ur speedo reports cause the way open diff works. if that spinning tire suddenly catches, thats more shock load than you might expect.
As a guy on a budget the auto-locker is what I have, front and rear in my 2022 Jimny.
Yes, I had to learn to drive the car again but after less than three months it became all natural to me and I’m very happy with what I have. No regrets what so ever!
That classic 'look' from Ronny on the Flinders, love it. Your teaching videos are awesome, the explanations with visuals plus years of experience make it a 4x4 educational blast.
Very informative and helpful! Thanks.
Excellent explanation and synopsis. Thank you for posting.
Yes would love to see a deep dive on diff locker types. Keep up the great work!
Been waiting for a video about this, thankyou!
Outstanding coverage of the matter.
Thank you for the great video. Appreciate sharing a video with tips for 4x4 vehicles that do not have lockers and everything is manual, like for old land cruisers . Many thanks.
Very informative, thank you! My vehicle has a rear locker and I havent had to use it yet, but this really helped me understand that there is definitely a wrong and right place to use it. Cheers
Great advice. It’s confirming my thoughts have been spot on.
Great video. Well put together.
Very informative. Looking at how "brutal" electronic traction controlsystems in modern awd vechicles act, i always thought that that shockloads and stresses the driveline even more than when both wheels are locked together. (There's more seemingly sudden "stops" of a fast turning wheel, loading the stress via the diff onto the other one)
Great information to help others that are new to the 4WD Scene!! Even I had trouble explaining when and when not to use and this helps a lot!!
I would also like to see a deep dive video of different locker types against each other
use lockers all the time. but not with 10,000 revs as ronny did.. best lockers are ones you dont fk with.. like detroit, or lunchbox.. e lockers & air, brake, as they have dangling parts & subject to heat.. cant beat yank sht.. if you have to turn your locker off to turn,,you got the wrong 4x4.. great information,,heres some,, join a registered club,,with trainers..
@@harrywalker968 clearly you don't know what you are talking about. A Detroit Locker is really just a Limited Slip type Differential that Mechanically locks under the right conditions if lucky. A lunch box locker is simply a cheap box that barely puts pressure on the axles. Both an E-Locker and Air Locker have a simple mechanism that will engage when either a Coil is Energized or air pressure is applied. Can these fail? To an extent yes, but usually it's the simple stuff that is able to be replaced. Also if you feel that you have a problem by having to turn a locker off to turn then you don't understand how the drivetrains operate on vehicles.
Great video! Tend to not use the rear locker or think of it as a resource tool but got me out of trouble once recently on a sandy bumpy hill that tyre pressure and momentum didn’t help. Rear locker on, climbed the hill like a breeze.
Great informative video. Thanks
Great stuff - thanks!
Great video, with good tips! Greetings from Germany!
I drive an 80 Series Land Cruiser in forestry and hard offroad and will remember when to use which locker 👍
Brilliant content as always!
You answer all my questions.
Thanks and Greetings from Germany
Thanks Ronny! This was a very very good and education episode.
I didn’t think there was much more I could learn on this topic but I stand corrected. Thank you!
Thanks Ronny! You da man.
definitely do the deep dive on the types of lockers :)
Mate, I love your videos even though I don't do four-wheel driving and don't own a 4wheeler but one day I will! You seem like a real gentleman and a genuine man. Thanks and keep'em coming!
great vid ronny, these videos are ur best
Another great video legend.
Please do a deep dive into all the diffrent types of diff lockers.
already been done - do a search
Yes please mate, I would love to work out what would best suit my needs regarding lockers, and having the differences and pros/cons explained like you did with the campers. I enjoy your videos and look forward to more mate. Keep up the good work. Stay off road
Good video.
Thanks for sharing it clear and simple. All makes sense and could save a lot of drama. Hard pill to swallow eventually if you’re not wanting to go with this advice
Keep it up, good job 👍
Thanks. Learned a lot!
Yes Ronny i would love to see a deep dive into all the different types of Lockers & their pros & cons, thanks.
I think you mean how all the different operating mechanism work? Air pressure vs vacuum vs electric vs mechanical? Or do you mean front vs rear pros and cons?
Air pressure vs vacuum vs electric vs mechanical for Reliability, durability, bank for buck etc. @@trickster8635
Nice Ronny
Great video
Thanks heaps Cheers
Totally awesome Mate! I learned a lot! Did not really know the finer points of lockers. We have front and rear on our Gladiator Ecodiesel.
Useful video, Ronny. Love the new Akubra :)
Top notch splainin' Ronny.
Awesome video and explanation, thanks!
Great vids again!
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az USA
Old video but very interesting and informative, thanks!
Deep dive yes please thank you. 🤠
Ronny is like the Dr Karl of 4WD
Great video. And the talk about differentials and high traction surfaces is another point of data to support the need for the old 2L feature ... it used to be available on some vehicles, and disappeared. On rock surfaces where all 4 wheels aren't needed, 2L would be a godsend.
They need to bring back 2L great for reversing trailers up steep driveways
there needs to be a winter/snow/ice version of this video
Thank you for this video.
Those info are great thank you
Nice one Ronny as you know you do learn from mistakes experiences and you have plenty would, love to here more about the different type of lockers good and bad points cheers man 👍
Great Video
Top vid mate. A long time ago I put an auto locca in the front diff of my 2002 hilux. Wasn't much info about any locca back then. I figured I had LSD in the back and the ifs was limited travel. Still does me good with limited height and articulation also I didn't have as much weight as what every one is carrying now
very practical scenarios,
A great video, Ronny! Lots of useful information, do's and don't of using diff lock. Nicely presented. I have a question: what if we don't have manual control or don't have diff locks in the vehicle. E.g. Suzuki Jimny 4x4 setup, will this be possible for you to make a quick 3-5 minutes video on do's and don't or how to efficiently use Jimny 4x4 without breaking anything. I don't have the luxury to have these trucks but I drive Jimny. One quick video will help me or many others a lot. Thanks again mate ❤
I think this will be helpful! Thank you.
Yes indeed correct.
I have ARB lockers front and rear on my 80 landcruiser diesel I’ve owned for 20+ years since I was a teenager when I bought it. I’ve broken three rear diff centres (once was the air locker bolts) and one front. But that’s in Victorian high country. I also have a PTO winch running from gearbox. Good set up. But you’re right, and one thing I know for sure, never reverse up hill with a locked front diff. The rest of the time, I hardly ever get stuck. Especially when I put front and rear chains on in snow season and lock both diffs. Cool info. Many people are totally ignorant and wonder why they always get stuck and cannot follow my path 😅
It's great to see Wayne back in the videos ........
Great content! I like the visuals.
Great job on this video!
Very well prepared that video. thx :)
Thanks Ronny, I wasn't sure if I should watch as I don't have lockers yet but super helpful. You explain things very well.
Great animations and explanations! Best I've seen explaining what a differential does and how it operates in 'open mode'. (grasshopper speak)
Also what lockers do and how they 'level up' the 'mod'. (again)
100% agree.
Tho will say that full-time rigs (80series for example) and 'part-time' or AWD rigs can be operated differently still.
That'd be a good video if you could wrastle up the rigs to demo for it.
Awesome, thanks!
great video mate. id like to put lockers on my 2014 sr5 but dont know which is best to use.
What a great video. So many things to learn in 10 minutes. One option for a front differential is a Torsen dif. I would be very interested to have your opinion on this.
of course we want video on types of lockers :)
Best tutorial info I’ve found on lockers!
Would love to see a more in depth video on lockers. I have heard that if you have a Patrol, go front because their rear LSD is so good. If you have a Cruiser, go rear. I have a 105 so I get could flex out of the front. Things like this I’d be really keen to know more about.
front locker first,,it pulls you thru, rears get bogged, try pushing then pulling something.. lockers,,detroit or lunchbox in the front, if,,, you have hubs..
Great information, please do that follow up video.
Also when you do that one could you cover the use of the Prado rear and centre locker setups that some of the models come with
This is a super helpful video. Thanks for creating it 👏🏽🫡
Please do a complete locker comparison.
One of the best Videos on You Tube!!! Well done
Great information! I always something new with your videos. Keep up the great work and it would be nice to see a video on the different type of lockers! Still trying to figure out what would be my best option.
Going to boil down to what is available for your particular vehicle.
Fantastic video, would love to hear the difference in the types of lockers. Looking at getting a rear locker in my 08 200 series
th-cam.com/video/1nYZo--7Xh4/w-d-xo.html
A good over view of different types of lockers. I have an E locker in the rear and auto locker in the front.
Good info. I'd like to see you do a diff locker comparo.
My Grenadier has the factory front and rear lockers, which I’ve never had before. Turning left off a beach on the run up to the big “escape dune”, I discovered the effect the front diff lock has on steering.
Great video man! I'd like to see others about the different types 👍🏻
Great explantion thanks
Great video Ronny.
Some vnew vehicles HiLux - downhill desscent engaged, do not engage rear locker, that will turn DAC off.
Excellent!
This was great, Ronny. What do you think about adding a rear air locker to a rwd vehicle? Worth it? I hear a lot of poeple say a 2wd vehicle with a rear locker will go 98% of the places a 4wd will go, but for me, it's about getting out of sticky situations (muddy mountain roads and sandy beaches).
I have installed an e locker in my Toyota slwb 2wd campervan. It's been a life saver, keeping me from bogging when off the hard surfaces. It's not infallible though and i also carry a winch which i can fit front or rear to get me out of bad bogs. Also chains and mud boards. Who needs 4wd??😂😂
Defending on the locker with 2wd vehicles to do 4wd stuff is Just dangerous. because you can't get out if you stuck unlike when 4wd with rear locker got stuck, there are not enough ways to get enough traction and right weight distribution. lockers are safety device!
Great demonstration
Would love a deep dive into the auto lockers
A comparison and rating of the different types of lockers would be great Ronny. Cheers
already done - do a search.
Ronny your videos are outstanding, thank u for sharing u knowledge, Vasili South Africa
how to break your driveline: use rear locker for drifting on the supermarket parking.
cool video, always great to learn.
Very good info!
GREAT Great Video. I admit I learned a lot from this very well done video. ❤🎉🎉 Thank you for the amount of work that went into making this Professional grade informative video.
Excellent video. I have rear Harrop E locker in the 07 Prado 120 V6 and its handy on the beach/sand tracks. Thought about adding one to the front diff as well but have not made my mind up yet
One thing I like about Land Rover traction control on my old solid axle disco is that instead of just having open or Locker I can have open, TC and then a locker when needed . I don't like just having open or Locker because the TC is very very fantastic and makes using a locker less often
Nice 👌 exactly what I'm looking for
That's what I like about a Detroit Locker in the rear. It will ratchet when needed and rolling
Cool informative video which leads to a lot of questions. I've just bought but not yet installed an auto lokka for the front diff in my car. How does this compare with what you've just said in this video
Hello mate! Here from the states. I wanted to comment on using the rear lockers in high speed. I currently own a ford Bronco with 35” tires and front and rear lockers. My Bronco allows me to travel at very high speeds in Baja mode. Great video!
Enjoyed that video. What about centre lockers? Would love to hear/see more on the different types of diffs/lockers.
A centre locker is nothing more than connecting front and rear drive together, which is exactly what happens in a part-time 4x4 when the stubby lever is pulled. Same difference.
Please do a Video on Lockers v Traction Control
thanks for a good informative vid, would have loved it if you had talked a little about LSD's and how they work in similer situations and thow you can tighten or loosen them depending on the type of offroading you do.
🏆🇺🇲🤗🙏🇨🇱
Thank you for sharing
Good info in ther! You should do a vid on lockers and their differences. You should check out the vids of AllOffroad and have a chat with Stefan cos he knows a lot about Harrop elockers and what they can and cant do!
Fantastic reportage
A deep dive on lockers from you would be awesome, given the detail & no BS approach you do in your vids. I personally run an auto locker front & factory vacuum locker on the rear & have done for many years with no issues, however I mainly run on clay/ mud up in Northern Rivers NSW. It would be very interesting how they all stack up against each other...........😃👍
in the u.s. there locked front rear allways, off road.. watch trailmater. & any other vids from u.s.. as they have been doing it for 300 yrs, as to our 3 yrs.. most all items 4x4 come from u.s. stikered made in au..or copies..
