Went wheeling with a few random guys...here are a couple pics.

^ (view from buddies jeep) Story is...Jeep decides to lead....Jeep gets stuck....Ranger comes to rescue

Making use of those 14" Bilsteins

So...this was the first time wheeling since installation of my front locker. I more or less just crawled whereever I wanted to go. Having the front locked however does provide a new challenge in the area of steering haha.

Cheers.

Looks like fun!

How are the steering characteristics different than having an open diff in the front?

nice looking rig btw, looks tough

completely different....definitely have to plan your turning ahead of time. It always wants to go straight ahead, but its manageable, and having all four of my wheels turning is fantastic. Truck didnt hesitate once on anything.

Bahahahaha yeah it gets wheeled, thats the whole point of it...no mall crawler here. We also get really nasty winters....I pull a lot of vehicles out of the ditch

Man that looks like a killer time. I miss 4x4ing! haha. Where is that from the city? Looks like a sweet place....with some killer mud haha

 

[-Nathan-]

[Dweano]

Nice nice. I will have to check it out sometime. So you didn't get stuck with the double lockers?

 

[-Nathan-]

heck no. I did most of the trails in 2wd.

 

[Dweano]

Hahaha that is awesome...I can't wait til I get my front and locker done...It makes a truck unstoppable! haha
