Debunking the Myth that You NEED Lockers to do Serious Rock Crawling

  • In today’s video, I will put all the nay-sayers panties in a bunch. For almost 2 years, I have been told by numerous people that I would never be able to do serious rock crawling without lockers. That ends with this video. Become a better driver and rely on technique & skills not on a button… it’s more fun that way anyway. You may not only need to Buckle Up Buttercup for this video but you may be puckering up buttercup while watching! This wraps up my day 2 at United by Bronco 2023 at Sand Hollow w/ my 2021 Ford Bronco OBX Non-Sas 2.3L.

    You are correct in the fact that you don't need lockers for serious off roading, but only due to the advancements in technology when it comes to traction systems. The advantage of lockers is that you won't break your ride as fast- because there is less jerking. Additionally a vehicle without lockers will get stuck faster because you have to allow the vehicle to spin before the traction kicks in.
    Nice driving and great vid. 👍

    Agreed - lockers are not required for off-roading. I wheeled out west in the Rockies for many years, in mostly stock CJs with open diffs. That was before the current "arms race" with factory rear/front lockers and various other off-road components. Some folks are WAY over-equipping their 4x4s these days. What percentage of Sasquatch Broncos even leave the pavement?
    Also in terms of entertainment, I find the videos of lesser equipped Broncos generally more fun to watch. Some of the maxed out Sas drivers seem half asleep climbing obstacles on auto-pilot, lol. It's arguably more fun having to work more with your vehicle, picking correct lines and being more in tune with what's going on because you have to.

    What tires, tire pressure, and GOAT modes did you use? Also are you still on the stock suspension with a 1" or 2" lift? Really, very impressive Krista, you've become the real deal behind the wheel. There was a time when I would have thought that I was as brave as you, but I think that you have taken things beyond where I would go (especially if I knew that I would be needing to drive all the way back to Florida).

    • @BuckleUpButtercupTV
      @BuckleUpButtercupTV  Рік тому +2

      That was the scariest for me, worrying about breaking it and not being able to get home. I have a 4” spacer fabtech lift, so not stock height but still no coil overs. I don’t believe that you wouldn’t do that 😊

    When I had my Jeep, it did not have locker, so basically if you want locker on the vehicle you do not have to replace the whole differential, you can use the same differential just replace the gear which is not hard to do, and drill a hole on top for an air locker you got to have like an ABS air system on vehicle to work.

    Thought I would come by and check out your page. My buddy Billy knew who your were, and introduced himself, when we ran into your group in the Maze and mentioned you were on youtube. We were the group of Early Broncos and a Cherokee XJ behind you in The Maze. What was the really loud ratcheting sound we heard when you were trying the 2nd climb after the steep drop off? We could hear it on all your attempts to get up that climb.

    • @BuckleUpButtercupTV
      @BuckleUpButtercupTV  Рік тому +1

      We think it some sort of safe guard set for non locking diffs. Had multiple people look at over the last year and no one can seem to figure out if it’s a problem?

    You can go with out lockers but seems like you put way more stress on everything without. Def worth the investment. Would not be too hard to add a couple ARB lockers sense you already have an ARB compressor installed. So was it just me or did you delete your latest video about the whole channel life update? Either way best of luck in your endeavors.

    Did the Corsa turn down exhaust suffer any damage, or did it hold up just fine? Also, were you running the Corsa air intake during this trip? Awesome footage.

      Exhaust held up great and I was also using the intake! And… thank you 😊
