Just a little A-Trac video to make you hit the trails

The best jack of all trades out there, you gotta love this truck. Simple and elegant.
Just a little video to make the mall crawlers here hit some trails once in a while and use that poor A-Trac

I appreciate your enthusiasm with ATRAC, but I figured now that you have front/rear lockers, you’d be posting videos of dual lockers in action. Keep them coming, thanks.

 

Lockers is a lot of work, A-Trac is quick and does almost what lockers do. Never it has failed me on the trails so far.

 

Love it!

 

What do you mean by a lot of work?

 

The stupid things, especially the stock rear Locker, take a lot of time to engage, the rear one just keeps blinking. They ruin the fun, so I don't use them until I get really stuck

 

Makes sense, thank you!

I’ve never had a locker so I wanted to ask.

 

My factory rear locker does the same thing. Takes forever to engage and disengage. It seemed to get a little better when I switched to amsoil but that could be placebo...

 

Turn the wheel side to side while driving forward to get it to lock.

 

They’re all like that (factory e-locker). But once you practice engaging and disengaging it, it’s easier to engage it without things getting hung up. You just gotta take a few seconds to do the wheel wiggle until you hear the click. Same for disengaging.

sometimes it drops right in if things align. I’ve also had it click in if Im off road on poor traction if I give it a very gentle press on the throttle…(just enough to slowly turn the tire with no traction). You have to apply gas really gently though, so you don’t get that thing engaging with tons of power on it.

The factory locker is one of those use it or lose it deals. It needs to be exercised, so it’s not good to avoid it long term.
