It works like this, see? All the lift in the world and all the tires on the planet will not help you one tiny bit if you don't have the traction, my friend. I honestly don't know of anyone who would disagree with this philosophy. After all, you have an EMU lift and 33" tires, shoot you're already THERE as far as lifting it goes. Good luck and congrats on your new rig!

I do disagree with you take the lockers out of a buggie and wheel it with a locked up toyota see which one goes further this has nothing to do with this thread I just thought I would disagree with you lame-ar.
Dear Nate8887;
I tend to disagree with this, my friend. With all other portions of the equation being equal, a 4WD vehicle needs three things to proceed, those being traction, ground clearance and power (torque).
Of course a person can compliment any one of the three aspects and it will help the situation overall, but the very best all-around rigs have equal portions of all three aspects.
This does not pertain to rock buggies, moon buggies, dune buggies or other *one-off* creations which were purpose built for only one terrain type. I meant this statement to be true in regards to those vehicles which have valid license plates on them and may be driven in ALL environments and terrain types.
Looking at the current situation, 5-0-9 Wheeler already has a rig with 33 inchers and a decent lift, therefore it'd make no sense at all to spend a small fortune on an SOA, with all it entails and leave the rig unlocked. IMVHO, first lockers should be installed and the vehicle wheeled in that configuration for a while. If the person feels that an SOA would help the situation even further, then sure, SOA that badboy, HOWEVER we are talking about $520.00 for a pair of Aussie locker vs. some 2-3K for an SOA with bigger tires, cut & turn, etc.
TO close, I stand by my prior statement, my friend.

Actually what rear end does it have in it you may think of swapping it to a p/u rear they are already soa and stronger than some land cruiser rear ends.
Just make sure the angles are all right and you will be fine is it staying offroad if so weld the rear "lincoln lock" it. Actually what rear end does it have in it you may think of swapping it to a p/u rear they are already soa and stronger than some land cruiser rear ends. Locking it is the easy way to get traction but not the only way. I am not a l/c expert so do not qoute me on the axles.
Dear Lamar;Dear 5-0-9 Wheeler;
Now, BEFORE you do an SOA and BEFORE you put a winch on it do THIS! Put LOCKERS it in! Do this even before you buy a Hi-Lift jack, my friend. This should be your first and ONLY priority at this point, as lockers will make a WORLD of difference. Trust me on this.
