  1. What does it say about a review when the first, most important factor is how they sound? And what does locking front and rear diff's matter if it has no locking center diff? Get in the muck and and it’s still a two wheel drive as power would all go to the front or back whichever had the least resistance.

  2. Don Leamon — That was not stated in the video. It said front and rear locking diff's, no center diff so it’s open. Manually engaged just means what it says.

  3. Greg Kittle — It has to have a differential/Transfer case or it would need two engines, unless you are saying the front locking diff has no power directed to them. 🤣

  4. Tyler Anderson — Does this have a low speed transfer case? And no, having a 2x low gearing, has absolutely nothing to do with locking diff's. How do I know this? Because I literally cannot count the number of 4x4 Dodges, Ford’s and Chevy's I’ve helped get unstuck on mud, snow or ice. I’m not a troll, people buy these things, go into the muck, get stuck, and cry "But it's a 4x4!" No, they aren’t.

  5. Tyler Anderson — Low Gear does NOT mean it has a locking center diff! Dude, get that things front or back wheels on ice or or mud and your stuck, seriously! No locking center diff means all the power is going to the front or rear, whichever one loses traction first. Stuck is stuck.

  6. Greg Kittle — Dude, yes, they can "call them 4x4's" but that doesn’t make them one. They all HAVE a center differential, or power wouldn’t be directed to all 4 wheels. Period. However... an open center differential is EXACTLY like an open differential in the rear wheels of your car, get one wheel on ice, you’re stuck, all power does to the one wheel with no resistance. You can get out with it in gear, walk around the car and watch the power go nowhere. You must have some play, otherwise it’s hard as hell on your tires, and transmission on pavement. The next best solution is a limited slip diff, it directs power to the wheel with the MOST resistance, so one wheel slips, power diverts. The third best are the newer, cheaper systems that use open diff’s, but computer controls the antilock brakes to faux force the power to the wheel with grip. Sounds great, but they are slower, hard on your brakes, and they can get confused and shut down. Most traction control systems use this method. MOST 4x4's have some combo of these. But having a locking front, and a locking rear WITHOUT A LOCKING CENTER DIFFERENTIAL IS FREAKING DUMB! That makes it a barely effective two wheel drive, not a 4x4. There are only 2 sold in the USA, 3 worldwide that have locking front, center and rear diff’s, the Jeep Rubicon and the Mercedes G-Wagon. Overseas there is an INVECO truck, not sold here. Buy this machine, great machine, but DO NOT TAKE IT OFF ROAD! It is NOT a 4x4! Not joking, do your own homework from this point on you dolt.

  7. Tyler Anderson — Dude, Read my previous response. No. Just because it’s says 4x4, does not make it so. It just means power can be delivered to all 4 wheels, not evenly, not smartly (AWD) and they do work great on ROADS. Go on ice, snow, mud, you’re stuck. I repeat, how do I know? Because I’ve rescued many, many dozens of bozo simpletons who tried, got stuck, and one of my neighbors calls me and says "Hey, we got another one..." Do either of these have a locking center diff? I don’t know, but I doubt it or they would have SAID SO because it is a big, BIG deal.

  8. Greg Kittle — I know the difference, we are just going to agree to disagree. Good luck.

  9. Greg Kittle — Go to your Jeep link and read what it says about transfer case and differentials. LOL!
