Default Our New Trail

Here's a short clip of the new trail that my buddy and I have been
building/clearing for the last couple weeks...
http://www.zippyvideos.com/547588701...p__land_rover/
The trail is located on my buddy John's land in North Kingston Nova Scotia
....The same property that John hosts the NS Jeep Jamboree...
The trail is a very tight off camber trail with lotsa hill climbs and some
VERY steep decents on the side of the North mountain in the Annapolis
Valley...
We will be running the trail for the first time on October 23rd as we will
be hosting the NSJC (Nova Scotia Jeep Club) Fall Crawl...everyone and anyone
with a Jeep is invited...Steve?? come join us??
More info can be found on the NSJC message board

As I watched the Rover, I knew a Jeep could have done better. And Voile, it
did.

I think it's just the fact that I had the opportunity to watch him attack it
first which told me that I wasn't gonna be able to just crawl it, I needed
momentum...
The Rover "50" is a very sweet rig...all coils, front and rear factory
lockers (not on for the climb), axles equivalent to a D44 and a low end
torque diesel engine...

It wasn't called the Rover 50 here - we called it a Defender 90. No lockers
as standard though, but stronger and more capable than any current Jeep bar
a Rubicon out of the box.

How are the lockers actuated?

Did he say why he wasn't locked?
