Just put 33s on it today and waiting on a 2.5” OME. Other stuff is just hidden maintenance/restore stuff, like hoses, belts, sensors, and removing 3rd row. More pics later.
Center, front, and rear. Most center difs on other vehicles are always open these days. Let’s front/rear drives turn at different speeds for turning radius of each, on pavement, or locks them for slow speed crawl....all-time 4wd systems. Manual locking hubs is the only way to make it 2wd. Front and tears control open/locked on separate wheels... but you probably knew that one.
I have a 1994 80 series with lockers and it is by far the most capable vehicle I have ever owned. I have an OME lift, ARB bull bar and 35" tires on it. Once the lockers are engaged, just point it in a direction and it goes there. It has actually surprised me a time or two just how capable it really is. Mine has over 260K on it and while it is not perfect, it just keeps running. I would not hesitate to buy another one if for some reason I ever needed to.
