    Hey guys. Headed out to Glamis pretty soon. Just wanted to hear how the RR Diff Lockers work in the sand? What did u air down to? I'm running 33" General AT2s hoping that I'm not gonna bury since I drive with common sense when accelerating.

    Can't speak for the locker itself but in general I would recommend around 10psi and 15 psi in the front. I run 2wd 99% of the time. I liked my at2s on my 5 lugger. Float well

    You should do fine, just stay on or close to the sand highways in case you get stuck.. i have always found the safest/best way to accelerate in sand is to just punch it, even from a stop... its all about momentum and moving sand.. get those roosters flying

    X2 on both account. Skinny pedal for the win. Jeff did fine with the one wheel wonder out there. Did well enough to pull my 4wd out.

    A friend has a 2wd Taco with the Elocker..... Manages to keep up with us 4wd off road... Just needs to keep the momentum up a little more than a 4x4. air down and enjoy. Just be sure to have some recovery equipment available. If you do get stuck a stranger might be more willing to pull you out if you have a strap already hooked up to your truck and are ready to go.

    Truck did great out in the sand. Did better than some 4X4 that were around me. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1393283655.820487.jpg
