  • We decide to take the Interceptor offroad with an FJ Cruiser to see what the truck can do. We took it into an environment what you would typically see if you went camping. It's not trail driving but you're off the beaten path enough where ground clearance, tires and traction devices like a locker (Eaton G80 in this case) will help you get through the terrain.

    I have a G80 on a 3/4 ton 4wd Suburban. 4WD tends to be for rutty forest roads where a wheel might be off the ground, on wet grass to keep from tearing it up and even backing out of a steep driveway where the weight isn't over the drive wheels.

    Most off-roaders do not realize the huge difference between real studded winter tires and common off-road tires in the winter, The Champiros shown here are almost illegally (here in Finland) bad winter tires, but even they are vastly superior to any normal off-road tires. Michelins or Nokians are again like from a different planet compared to Champiros. The video really does not show how difficult some of the sections have been.
    Some off-roaders think that mud tires are ok for the winter, but they may even pay that error with their lives, as even a good summer tire is better on an icy road than a mud tire. Studs help a bit, and custom made siping helps a lot. Still a car with even bad avd outperforms a real 4x4 if the car has , say, studded Nokians and the truck has mud terrains, on ice, that is.

    Not bad. The 2WD locker is pretty good. I am buying a 2WD locker just for regular use and an occasional campground area towing. The locker seems quite capable for that. Naturally an all out comparison of 2WD to 4WD is irrelevant- 4WD wins offroad but still, the capability of the locker 2WD is impressive. Another 2016 video Lifted 2WD tacoma in FL really shows off the 2wd capabilities as well.

    • @AnthonyJ350

      I have a Ford Ranger here in Ontario 🇨🇦. I really wanted the compact pickup for better fuel economy and cheaper insurance (compared to a car in my city). You’d be hard pressed to find a 4WD Ranger or Tacoma with no rust, never mind afford one. Trucks are getting expensive, especially the old and reliable on the used market.
      Edit: I mean an older Tacoma or Ranger. Like 10+ years old. My Ranger is a ‘00

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  7 лет назад +6

      Look into an Eaton Trutrac. It's more a of a limited slip but it will do exactly what you want and should have smooth operation on the street. Some locker options might be great off road but then you drive it daily and it's noisy or starts to chew up your tires. I'm a big fan of Eaton products in general.

      AnthonyJ350 I bet you most of these people aren't true 4x4 people. They just like the idea of it. I personally have always liked rwd trucks for work and their ride. Easier to throw stuff in the back and all that.
      I don't spend a lot of time 4x4ing anymore just up Backroads and forest service roads. So I am Thi king of getting a rwd Ranger and dropping an Eaton Truetrac in it. Gives me a little bit more usability for my highway vehicle.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  6 лет назад +1

      Steven Stringer Ya the biggest reason I drive a RWD truck is they don't make body on frame cars anymore lol. I actually just put a Yukon Gear Duragrip (clutch type LSD) in the truck based on my drivetrain shop's recommendation. I plan to test it some, but so far much better characteristics in the rain compared to the G80. I wanted a Trutrac but they recommended this one. Still breaking it in but I'll make a few videos on this one for you guys.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  6 лет назад

      Graham Hobbs The only down side to a "true locker" is stability on pavement in the rain at highway speeds can be compromised. It is impressive what a 2WD truck can do with a good traction device and good tires.

      @AnthonyJ350  6 лет назад

      I just switched to a Yukon Gear clutch based setup. I have yet to test it offroad , but the on street traction especially in the rain is much better because it's always engaged. Also cornering and braking seems to be better because of how it distributes power with the new unit.

      That's how GM trunks are built. They're more setup for the highway than they are to go offroad. And more customers keep their trucks on pavement 90% of the time. That's why offroad product companies that make lifts and levelling kits will stay in business for a long time.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  7 лет назад

      3.73 is a good place to start. I don't know what your 5th gear ratio is so I don't know where you will be RPM wise on the highway. For all we know your truck might have an axle ratio like that already. I'd take the VIN call your local Ford dealership, and if they're cool they can tell you what gear ratio was installed.
      Look into Eaton's TruTrac differential for your traction device. Should give good power transfer and smooth operation. I'd go full mechanical vs a clutch style LSD since you want to take your truck more off road.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  6 лет назад

      Joseph DuPont This locker only engages at low speed. You might also want to look into limited slip options. Best thing to do is talk to your local drivetrain shop and tell them how you use your vehicle.

      A locker or limited slip can get you into trouble on the highway if you aren't careful. I'd stick with what you got which most likely is an open differential on the highway is all you really need....a good set of tires for the conditions you'll be encountering is far more important and needed than a locker or limited slip.

I mainly use this truck to go to work and haul 4X8 sheets of plywood and MDF and tow occasionally. This which an FJ isn't really good at. 80/20 rule, 80 percent daily/ haul awkward items, 20 percent go somewhere to camp.

      @wildbill23c 4 года назад

      ATRAC isn't a locker...it applies brakes to spinning wheels using the ABS system's sensors...all it does is wear out your brake pads it is in no way even close to a limited slip or a locker, and isn't even a close substitute....but for 99% of people that buy trucks and suv's they will never do anything more than hitting a curb at the mall so today's vehicles are more equipped for highway travel which is why you don't see the limited slip or locker option being ordered in most vehicles...the ones that do actually go offroad typically order the stock vehicle because they know they'll be adding an aftermarket limited slip or locker anyways.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  4 года назад

      Doesn't that just use the brake on the wheel that's slipping? I would prefer a LSD of some sort or a locker if it's a 4X4 used a lot off road.

    Honestly I don’t see how you have a 2” lift on it with the tires about hitting the fender. I put a 3” on mine with 33s and I have way more clearance than that in the front. I also agree with the other dude, that is by far no comparison. You should have had two of the same trucks

    • @wildbill23c
      @wildbill23c 4 года назад

      Depends...if you got a heavy V8 or diesel engine up front it'll take 200-400lbs of weight in the bed to help with snow/ice traction making your pickup bed totally useless. The heavier the engine the more weight you'll need in the bed to compensate for that weight over the front non-powered axle in a 4x2 pickup.

    Typical Vancouver 4x4 pozer crap. Richmond, south Fraser River...I've driven a Honda Accord through that stuff. No risk of getting stuck but far more from cutting a tire on discarded pallets and sofas.
    If you want to be a 4x4 RUclips Hero, spend a day exploring either east or west of Harrison Lake and you'll realize there are few places 4x2 beats 4x4...if you want to use those trucks the way they were meant to be used.

    G80's There ok when they're newer. I wouldn't expect it to Last for the life of the vehicle though. At higher speeds they are actually un locked. I've owned 2 vehicles that had them and they both broke. The teeth wore off the shaft and it made a chattering chirping noise. If I was gonna buy a locking differential I'd buy a torsen like the Detroit True Track. No clutches to wear out and no little teeth to break off the shaft and they last the life of the vehicle. I think GM intended these for maybe pulling a boat up a wet boat ramp not serious off roading.

    • @AnthonyJ350

      Chris Conway Not all of them blow up. Maybe the T/A different cover helps avoid any deflection and I think whom ever put this one in the tolerances are tighter cause you can hear it squeal in a parking lot. These things have been equipped in GM trucks for decades.

      @chrisconway6879 7 лет назад

      Yeah, they do work but the failures are well documented for a reason. The design just isn't sustainable for long term use. Many many soccer moms have blown the things up by just hitting a patch of ice wrong. Hell, i never beat mine in anyway and it started ratcheting like crazy in reverse. I figured it was time for it to go. Cause when they blow, they usually take out the ring and pinion and bearings with it

      Oh I agree it's not bullet proof. But if I can drive the truck for 8 years on it and run it for a bit longer, I save a bunch of money while still having a functional rig. I won't replace it until the operation makes some weird noise. Then I'll switch to a TruTrac.

      @tomkinstle1925 5 лет назад

      Drivetrain aside, big trucks are terrible off road. Big engine, the power and weight high up front, all wanting to push from the opposite end. The rear wants to trade places with the front each time you accelerate. Locking it in, (Diff or 4x4), shifting weight, moderate acceleration, helps correct this.
