RATED

within the diff housing, plus they used a
Terrain Tamer bearing kit.
Simple electrical lines run from
the in-dash switches to each diff, and
I’ve fitted the two switches into
existing ‘push-outs’ just to the right of
the steering wheel.
Despite revelling in the ‘go-anywhere’
ability the ELockers provide, I’m also
cautious not to push the limits of gravity
with such a tall and narrow 4x4. However,
when the Troopy struggles for traction, I’m
confident that at the push of a button (or
two) I’ll have the necessary traction
required to pull and push the albino
behemoth over pretty much anything in its
path. Plus I’m confident it can just as
quickly revert back to unlocked open diff
centres for on-road mile-munching – that’s a
win-win all ’round.
