Recorded the speedo to get an idea just how fast this thing gets up to speed, and this is on the DIRT in 4-wheel drive! Baja Mode, Rear Locker engaged, Auto shifting.
I know I was definitely impressed... (sorry for the shaky camera work!)
Using Final Cut and going by frames, 0-60 looks to be...
We did notice that even without it locked, that it did lay 2 strips in the dirt. So maybe the rear end is just so well balanced and outputting to the wheels similarly, so it won't matter as much at high speeds?
On my Gen1 without the rear locker engaged, it would mostly just spin one tire...
Yes, but it seems you can't run 2-wheel drive with the rear diff locked in Baja mode... which is SUPER lame, and a huge let-down.
In the Gen-1, off-road mode in 2WD with the diff locked is the ONLY setting most of us ran in!!!
Unless we're missing something here...
Ha! I'm not dead yet... just took a break from this site when it was at it's poisonous peak. Although, coming back and reading some of these Gen1 vs. Gen2 posts, holy crap! It's like an all out war around here.
Won't be getting a Gen2 until they at least are selling for sticker. I'd be...
Question:
Is there a way to enable 2WD with the rear diff locked, in an "off road" type mode (presumably Baja mode)??? We tried this yesterday, and the truck would NOT let you lock the diff in 2WD in Baja mode! Seems insane!
You could do this in regular Sport mode, but then the calibration...
Having owned a Gen1 for many years, with countless off road trips under my belt... I had the privilege of riding in a new Gen2 yesterday, including some off roading.
My impressions:
- Much faster than the first generation, both on dirt and pavement (well duh!)
- The fit and finish is...
Had an amazing time guys...
Jeremiah (and guys that helped him prerun), you guys did a great job... the route was fantastic, the scenery was beautiful, and there were no snags whatsoever. Very nicely done!
On top of that, this was a GREAT group of drivers. Level-headed, and well within...
From our experience in the past, people have issues arise that usually cause at least a few to have to cancel. We hope this isn't the case, but for you this may just work out well still!
