Called down to Hollister. They are planning to be closed Sunday. Alternate is Frank Raines.

You'll have to bring your own water truck... you'll find the lack of mud bogs here to show off your skills in... disturbing

How does it handle at highway speeds with the sway bar removed?

Handled slightly better than a fully loaded garbage truck. It honestly wasn't bad. I drove 400+ miles on the highway with them removed. My average speed was 85mph, it did sway a little, city driving is we're it's most noticeable. The truck has excessive body roll and nose dive now, feels all over the place on city streets. I will admit the ride is MUCH smoother, but with huge disadvantages. I would not recommend removing them for DD. If you wheel bat**** insane yes, it allows much quicker wheel compression and fully independent wheel travel.

More videos coming as the Land Cruisers impressed the onlookers at Frank Raines OHV today.

Some fun trails and some serious... lots of atrac action.

I think it's always been known that the lockers could provide better traction under certain conditions but don't discount ATRAC. Had this been an iced road the lockers wouldn't have done much and ATRAC would have won. I've climbed this hill 4 times in my ATRAC only rig but not that day
