If you are looking to be convinced I have used my lockers tons of times, haven't used a winch or had a tow yet. (now see what happens to me...) lockers definitely rule in mud or on rocks.

Don't get it twisted.... Those lockers are a Godsend in the Jersey mud! That's why I was cruising around in the mud having fun while he was stuck lol
My buddy just bought a kit that allows him to lock them in whenever he wants. We just installed them this week and gonna test it this weekend if you want I can get you the info. Just PM me if you do...

When switching into 4lo the ESP system automatically shuts off.

I disagree. I just whipped a shitty in two , just fine! I wasn't in dirt. I was on pavement.

Then all you did was spin the tires. Pushing the button will allow the tires to spin all day... but try to whip a shitty and it will laugh in your face.

The BLD will kick in... every time... even with the button off.

So if the tires spin then traction control must be of right. The thing will do a donut so how can it be working ?
