Good video brother if your doing ANY real off roading LOCKERS are a MUST! I mean when you put it in four wheel drive you want four wheel drive not 3 wheel drive aka limited slip
I actually sold the whole truck/rack/tent about six months after installing. I’ll be honest in saying I prefer the nature nest hard shell tent on Amazon. We just got back from a 3800 mile, ten day trip and it was amazing. You can find my Instagram pics @the_northman_adventures !!
@@thenorthmanadventures5224 can’t wait to see it. Gas or diesel? Rubicon or Mojave? Now I want to halt buying stuff until I see what you will get after all that experience
@@ryanwilliams4270not sure where your information comes from. I’ve used lunchbox lockers in several vehicles on the snow, on the road, with no issues. It performs EXACTLY like any other locker. You don’t “break traction”…it’s a locker and locks when under load.
@thenorthmanadventures5224 the general consensus is not to use lockers on slippery surfaces at speed. Obviously depends on the user and the unique circumstances. It's not information, it's common knowledge that when turning under load, you're turning one wheel faster than the other; at speed, this is obviously exacerbated. There are also instances where you don't want to be locked, such as on slippery off camber surfaces; having both wheels spin will allow the jeep to slide down. And of course, hard turns, driveline bindup and tire wear. I agree that the locker you use is an awesome product and works well, especially for DIY., I'm just saying it's not without compromise. If you're going to spend the time and money to regear, what's another $600 for an elocker? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wkA9_vjQGhE.htmlsi=3ntKv-3tZRL2FSIY
Hi, Thanks for the review. I set my tent up today in the wind and could not figure out if the noisy rain fly can be removed? If not, have you tried rolling it up and tucking it back somehow and if so can you tell me how you did that. :)
Quiet as a mouse on the road (in the front). It is not locked while not in 4wd. The torque from the driveshaft (4wd) engagement is what will lock it up!
@@thenorthmanadventures5224 I have a 2016 jku non Rubicon and I am installing revolution 4.88 gears in front and back. I know the back doesn't need a carrier to accommodate the 4.88's but I'm wanting to at least put in an Aussie in the front along with a new carrier. Is there a certain carrier that's compatible? I know it needs to be open but is there a specific brand to pair with the Aussie to go in the front Dana 30. Also just to mention I am going from stock 3.21 gearing to 4.88's to take some pressure off driveline and help with the 35" tires also so I can get 6th gear back in my manual transmission.
I read reviews of them being noisy and chattering. Your install seemed pretty clean and straight forward. Can you let me know about the noise? Have you noticed any issues? Great video thanks
25:17 Limited slip will lock up if one tire is in the air and one is on the ground as the clutches engage the wheel with traction, it is not instant like an air or e-locker but it will lock both axles.
“Limited slip” is just that…it slips, but less so than an open carrier. Nothing about a limited slip “locks up”. While yes, a limited slip is great in many situations, it will “slip” in extreme conditions where a locker will not.
@@thenorthmanadventures5224 I am aware, lockers are the best option. Many times all you need is the axles to lock just for a foot or two to get past the slick spot. Overlanders would benefit from a limited slip diff, but rock crawlers need full locking diffs. I have a 2014 JKU with limited slip in the rear, I also have a 2003 WJ Overland Edition with limited slip in both diffs, the WJ is a beast in the snow. The WJ does not have much clearance but with a mud tire it hooks up to climb slippery hills and plows through the snow like nothing I have ever owned before. My first 4x4 was a 1981 Toyota pick up in 1984 with open diffs, I have had 2 Toyota 4x4 pickups (1 was an '83 Mojave), two 4Runners, a series 2 Land Rover, a series 3 Land Rover, 5 ton Dodge Power Wagon 4x4, 2 FJ Cruisers and 2 Subaru Legacy wagons (they sucked for offroad), now I have JKU and a WJ. I kind of know what makes a good 4x4 and how to pick a line.
@@brbadventurer yup, a bunch of people under estimate non-Rubicon JK Wranglers. I have a 2012 JK Sport with a limited slip and combined with the Jeeps BLD system it gives me good traction off road. I'm only runnung a 2.5" lift on 33s and it does good for what it is. Being a 2 door helps too for most situations. Planning on going to 35s soon and regearing to 4.56 from my current 3.73 gears when I do.
@@jeepinintexas6215 Hey buddy, don't chase that bigger lift, bigger tires, bigger lift bigger tires monster. Go where your Jeep will take you and enjoy where you are ... let your ego relax and just enjoy the Jeep you have. 33's are really are all you need. Did you get high centered more than 5 times last season?
@@brbadventurer never been high centered yet but have bottomed out on the skid plates over a few obstacles. It happens usually on those areas where you have to climb over or up a step type obstacle, you know the places where longer wheelbase vehicles have the advantage. I just ran some trails at the off road park in Hot Springs with a buddy this weekend. He's rolling a JLUR with a 3" lift on 37" tires and I kept up with him. My JK runs good but if it had 4.10 gears it would be just right.
@@xjmojo , I agree if you are doing a differential fluid change. But if you have to pull the cover off for work (such as this video) then pulling the cover is the only way.
OMG, that's absolutely annoying when anyone does stuff like that especially when they have no experience on the topic. For instance, I know a guy who's trying to tell me which firearms suck and which ones are good lol. This guy has zero experience shooting firearms and doesn't even own any but seems to know all about them. He says 1911s are too heavy and he doesn't like heavy guns but he's never even held a 1911 before much less fired one lol. Every time I invite him to the range he can't go because of this or that hahaha. He can't even afford a $300 budget pistol but says he wants to buy a Galil rifle 😅. This same person has done the same when it comes to camping gear and hunting too, both of which he also has zero experience with. He also has a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-road but is a shitty driver on the street. I've invited him to go off roading and he finds excuses bail out on that too.
Sorry if I missed it but what year is your jk? Also, any transmission or traction control issues after the Aussie install? I’ve seen some of the lunchbox locker companies claim there can be issues in auto jks.
Nice video... did you encounter 2 bolts on the passenger side near the top center that were a little too long that you had to trim for the inner fender to fit? Did you also get the rear inner fenders by motobilt as well? Deployed Overlander here. thanks
Did yours come with the inside support bar mount or did it have a strap originally? Ours only has a strap on one side then the pole connection on the other
I was really hoping to see you fold it back up. I just bought one of these, its sitting waiting to be installed. I have a CVT hybrid, Its a great tent and setting up is pretty easy, but the close up is pretty tedious which is why I went this route. The CVT was on a trailer before the gladiator, so it wasn't too bad there, but for being able to explore during camp on the gladiator made it tough to be able to move around. I think this set up looks really easy.
I actually have that footage if you are interested. Very simple and just as quick as setting up. You can message me on Instagram (same name) and happy to send it!
