Mine is an 02, not sure where the cutoff for late model is. The dash knob has 2WD, 4WD HI, 4WD LO. There are vacuum lines but I don't have any confidence if they still do anything. It's a heavy 7.3 and tends to spin easily on wet grass on incline. Nothing on my property is level. I' have...

I have not noticed any changes. I'm trying to keep an eye on that.

It's just a sarcastic moniker that I've had for 30 years. Be as blunt as you feel you need to be.

Yes it does. It provides 'drive' to one front wheel. I've gotten out of slippery places by doing this. If the wheel breaks traction then you're right, it wouldn't help without locking in the other hub. As for the terminology, I think that was already squared away after the video post. Thanks...

Thanks for the video. You're right, terminology is different. Lockers seem to be a 'newer' technology to factory 4x4 vehicles. All I ever heard back in the day on the older 4x4 trucks, was posi-trac, limited slip or open. (And of course locking hubs.) My F350 has locking hubs. When I am...

Thank you for your reply. I have never seen/noticed a 4x4 that the hubs wouldn't lock. I haven't seen every 4x4 truck either. You answered my question.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I was speaking of 4x4 trucks, not Broncos. I'm fairly familiar with Bronco terminology. Not sure if people who own 4x4 trucks use the term 'lockers' for locking hubs. I've never seen a 4x4 truck that didn't have locking front hubs.

Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing.

Some of the folks posted they have had older 4x4 trucks but didn't have lockers. Maybe I'm wrong here so comment if I am. While it can be true for the rear diff, the front diff has locks be it manual or via switch. I've never seen/noticed an older 4x4 truck without locking front diffs. Is this...

Looks like an outstanding trip. Thanks for sharing. I have to say as a hobbyist photographer that your photos are top notch. I have some photos of some of the same things in my travel photos 'catalog'. Wall Street, Canyonlands overlooking Shafers, Newspaper Rock to name a few. This is one of...

Well 3 things I guess 3: I live just outside of town (1 mile), I have to drive right by the carwash to go into town.

Two things, 1: I'm retired. 2: It's a manned carwash that takes less than 2 minutes to use. I have plenty of time for all kinds of things.

Go ahead and make fun of me if you want, I have an unlimited car wash subscription on my last rig so I kept it up for this one. So mine gets washed probably twice a week. Sometimes more if I'm going out of town. We do have a lot of bugs and rain in Arkansas so there is that. That being said, I...

Happy birthday. Thanks for the history lessons.

I've recently started building more 'framework' for my projects from 3/4" plywood and Kreg screws. Super strong and as you said, lightweight. My youngest son taught me that trick when he built a workbench using only 3/4" plywood. He designs things for a living. Great feeling to learn...

Looks good! Great write up and pics. I did something similar back in the 80's when I was into baja bugs but yours is much, much nicer. Well done.

Surely I'm not the only one with low/mid speed internet. I live in the country and my internet speed is fast enough to stream videos on two tvs/computers at once but some of the photos posted here take forever to appear. Waiting for them to load is so bad that I just go on to another post. I'm...

Bought mine slightly used so it already had running boards, window tint, big tires and wheels. First stuff I did: Gold colored Bronco lettering/emblem to match wheels and a drop down trailer hitch. Second thing, upgraded the audio system, JL C2- 650 and C2-650X speakers, Mabett pods, Kicker...

This is worth checking out when you get near Carthage Missouri. Great photo ops. https://www.legendsofamerica.com/mo-redoakii/ I stayed at the Boots Motel when I went on my Rt66 trip. Reminiscent of motels from back in the day. https://bootsmotel.com/ Lots more info if you're interested.

Me too. Back in the 60's my childhood home was SoCal. Every summer went spent 2 weeks on vacation in Arkansas and passed by many of these icons on the way to and from. Everyone should do road trips with their families, build those memories.
