As for the test being quoted, it will probably be with a few choice colorful metaphors thrown in since I don't know jack about off-roading.
I don't have my front air locker in place yet. It will be going in with the lift next month. I have THOROUGHLY tested the rear though and I am very impressed. This weekend I drove into a wash-out in Ocala and the left front hub decided it didn't want to engage. I wound up sitting on my hitch and spare tire with rear wheels flailing uselessly. I took apart the hub, fixed the problem and engaged four wheel drive. Believe it or not, I drove out of it. By all rights I shouldn't have been able to drive out of it. In fact, the rest of the crew with me was getting out the snatch strap to pull me out.
I also demonstrated its usefulness to the Ocala Jeep Club. Even without the lift in place yet, I walked the truck through a series of washouts that put me on two wheels at several points and kept right on ticking. When I add the lift and front air locker, this truck will be deadly. Of course my wife was screaming bloody murder while this was going on and told me if I did it again with her in the truck she would kill me. Mind you I was dragging trailer hitch and spare tire all the way through the wash-outs. The most positive thing of all is there is no need for momentum in most cases. Cuts back on some of the danger.

Whatcha Think!? A hill climb, mud slog, rock waterfall, whatever you have access to - with one vs the other?!
