Even Rubicons get stuck
Went wheelin' the other night in my buddy's Rubicon (4" lift with 33" BFG
A/T's).
We ventured a little too far into the Louisiana clay. His tires caked up and
just spun.
It sure would be nice if the lockers worked in high range; he just couldn't get
any mud-slinging speed in low range.
What really pissed him off is that I pulled him out effortlessly with my 89YJ,
Peugot Tranny, 3.07 Open diff., 2.72 LR, with 31" BFG M/T's.
The right tire goes a long way.
(He wouldn't let me take any pictures!)

hi jim,
the lockers _will_ work in high range with a proper (simple) modification to
your wiring.

Re: Even Rubicons get stuck
Even with the modification to have locked wheels in high range, yes you can
still stick a Rubicon and any other locked Jeep for that mater. That's why
we have a winch and always travel in groups. But I'm sure it was a great
feeling pulling out the new Rubi !

why? obviously anything can get stuck, and even the best vehicle in the
wrong hands can get stuck. if he was being a jerk boasting superiority i
could understand it, but if that were the case i would have left him there
anyway. ;-)
