    Get a Jeep for that, and then forget about road manners. Stay tuned, I'm going to post another video of my crazy aggressive cornering. KDSS is magic.

    I like the agressive viper cut you've got there. I plan to do that in the spring.

    When you have a shiny expensive truck, it's always a good idea to do your homework than to learn things the hard way on the trail lol

    If you expect me to risk breaking stuff, it's not going to happen. This truck is my highway cruiser, not trail queen.

    At tahoya ORV park, there are plenty of opportunities if you want to break stuff. Jeeps on 42s and higher go there.

    285s are baby talk buddy. You'll see new Lexus with 35s from factory pretty soon.

    It's considered hardcore porn, since @Yotaholic is hardcore enough to carry two spare tires.

    I swear I did not do it for looks, I just wanted to step on rocks to go through Jeep ORV gatekeepers, they don't let minivans through, even if they are body on frame :D

    I know you didn't. I do like the looks but it's also very functional.......I really don't feel like getting plastic ripped off and potentially damaging fog light wiring etc. Much easier to do a viper cut than to make repairs and have to paint and install new plastic.

    I've definitely been rather impressed with A-TRAC. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.

    I feel like it is quicker and more aggressive than Jeep's BLD

    100% agree it is for sure more aggressive. I feel like the people who hate on A-TRAC are comparing to a locker which is unfair.

    I haven’t seen much hate on A-trac. It’s like having 90 percent of the functionality of a front and rear locked 4x4, with none of the mechanical risks.

    Having a locker in addition to a-trac is even better. But that’s not taking anything away from a-trac.

    If you have no prior experience with such traction aids, it takes a few attempts to really learn how to make A-Trac do its best. I come from Jeep BLD world, but BLD is active in 4Lo all the time.

    Agreed. I'd love to be totally locked, eventually. But, I'd only use the lockers when absolutely necessary. A-TRAC has been impressing me constantly since the locker quit.

    True! It's fantastic once you figure it out!

    SR5 4R here. The only reason I have ever turned back from an obstacle is approach, break-over, or departure angles. (Mud and deep water are a no-go, too.) A-Trac has gotten me everywhere the guys with lockers have gone. Some of them get pissed, some are impressed. Some think I am lying that I don't have a locker. A-Trac is f'n magic.

    The only things that limit our trucks are its body angles and the driver's tolerance to trail damage lol.

    4H and 4L has always gotten me where I wanted to go. Snow, dirt and loose rock. Haven’t needed ATRAC yet, but I seldom if ever get into off camber situations.
