      Thanks! This is one of my favorite trails. It has been abandoned for more than 40 years. We haven't reached the end yet because we need to move the fallen trees but every time we are further and further away.

    • @joegriffin6699
      @joegriffin6699 3 года назад +1

      Yes Josip. You get cross axled and have 2 wheels spinning occasionally. With the Ausi Lokka, this eliminates this. I fitted mine to the rear. Transformed it. Goes everywhere now. £300 well spent. Dana 44 I think.
      You can't fit to an overland, but open diff crd, you can.

      @@V8AmericanMuscleCar its effective if hydralock are not broken, in Poland there is small manufacture and they are even tougher than original ones. Its all effective until 32 inch wheel. I have lift 2 on OLD MAN EMU, and 31 inch wheels, its 245/70/R17, than doesn't matter, you can have all car weight on 1 week as it roller test does. but you cant give a gas let go, you need to place keep strate, control direction and push gas and give it a bit of time to clutch but not let gas away, because it will pump oil and block in differential once it feel 1 wheel spin faster than other ones, and if you start and stop you reset it and go from beginning.

      It's not that tight and this hill is mostly sand so it can be shoveled off. That's how we passed the first time. The former trail in this part went a few meters along the creek but there was a landslide there, so it was not possible except through the creek. Believe me, it's way more fun like this. 😁
