    The video that was posted was an area that Jeff went through with a front locker, and you also went through WITHOUT a front locker, correct?

    Therefore, you both went the same trail, with and without front lockers. Thus, proving my point.

    Nah man. Jeff went a different way that absolutely required a front locker. Tyler trued to follow and couldn’t, because no front locker.

    same trail, same starting point, same ending point.

    quit trying to fudge your way into thinking you proved me wrong lol.

    I will admit that one day I will be in a spot that someone with a front locker will make it, and I will not. When that day comes I will gladly agree that a front locker was/is necessary. For my past experiences that has never been the case, and in that video of you, that was not the case.

    One day Trey, but today is not that day.

    that's like jeff making it up boatramp and you making it up boatramp but using the spectator line up it lol

    I get what you're saying, but I always use the lockers before they're needed both rear and front. I try to keep it as easy as possible on the truck.

    i saw your question mark and I'll give you a reason, because it makes stuff easier and less demanding on a drivetrain.

    but Jeff hasn't made it up boatramp has he? it's not the same as saying that. I'm saying if you take the SAME TRAIL, whether it be a slightly different line or not.

    I've got 1600 in my entire ARB setup sooooooooooo. I think we can all agree for $1600 we would all jump on a dual compressor and locked front and rear.

    That last comment was a joke. We all took the same line and we all made it up. Everyone spun pretty bad going up except Jeff.

    My comment on that video was “a front locker would have been nice there” not “a front locker was required to make it up”. Therefore I am in no way trying to dispute your point nor did I prove your point.

    I am in no way trying to prove you wrong in this situation (Though I am trying to screw with you). You have your opinion that you don’t need a front locker and I am not saying or implying that you are wrong.

    That being said, I think the control gained from the front locker is not just about making it through a trail. Not slipping due to tire spin could also prevent body damage.

    how much of a difference OFF ROAD did your 4.56s make? I understand the change on road obviously but did you notice a big difference OFF?

    Video of Jeff is up. @TRD_Tyler_16 if you don't know.

    As I recall @TheTacoma went up first and I followed, then @BamaTaco56 , then @JBTacoma. All of us made it up with differing degrees of difficulty.
