Land Cruiser 100 Series ATRAC vs Lockers

Hollister Hills SVRA - Truck HIll
Demonstrating Various traction aids on a difficult hill climb. Though the ATRAC equipped LX 470 has made it up this hill in past weekends, the fine, powdered dirt and loose under soil was a challenge this day.

Atrac only works when the speed limit is very low. Also you should not floor it when using atrac. It can be very effective. I have seen cases where it outperforms rear lockers.

I've made it up that hill with open diffs plenty of times. It depends on the conditions on the given day, but tires and momentum play a big part.

[mxish]

It looked like the vehicle with F/R diff also had the advantage of better tires for the terrain?

[deganni]

front and rear lockers are the best! thanks for sharing

So now I've got to get Lockers and a new Clash CD for the 2000 LX470 I just inherited from my Parent's estate...

[RobRedMedia]

The locked 100 did have the advantage with tires over the other two... what you didn't see is my 100 with Duratracs not make it either.  Today the lockers ruled. other days the unlocked 100's have made it up that.

Came here for the video...stayed for The Clash!

So basically the rig with adequate off-road tires made it up. lol

This video makes me feel better about the 3k I just spent in lockers and compressor😏😏😏

You can have your hummer. I'll take this Land Cruiser. Obviously it's cool! It made it up the hill .

[zipdoa]

I didn’t think ATRAC worked unless at a crawl speed?

[ruffus]

Have all 3 run the same tires & try again.

VERY few places in Arizona (a dream state for wheelers) where an H1 will equal let alone outdo my Cruiser(s). They high-center 24/7 in the tough stuff...and they don't fit. But they weren't designed for that either.

I always laugh when people think atrac is as good as lockers. No electronic system will fully mimic hardware. I own a Lexus GX460 and a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The Lexus rules pavement and comfort factor but the Rubicon rules anything off-road. You cannot beat 4-LO with a 4:1 transfer case with front and rear lockers.

[PWatsonable]

Doesn't seem like the main use case for lockers.

[recnepsgnitnarb]

I just throw a set of chains on the front end. Need for lockers eliminated.

[infectrus]

Your crazy. They can't fit most of the places my yota can get I to. That goes for full sized trucks as well.

Plz for God sakes turn off the fucken music...GEEZ!!!
