I will be trying a mud bog soon, I was surprised at how it climbs! Also, the ride is actually a little better than my FFPW but not close to the M37! I am building a very heavy flatbed to put on it plus a rear deck winch and anything else I can add to make it heavier! It outclimbed an M37 as is but I know it will do better with some weight! The way the gear ratios are with the 1.5:1 transfer case, it is plenty low geared! Thus, I had no lack of HP when climbing a very steep (100% or more) slope! So, I will be able to report further once I have the bed built and the lockers in! I am not going to lock the front though..I just don't think it will need it! Both rear ends are always engaged, there is no practical way to disengage them, so the Lock-Rite should be just perfect as they will release when turning. Otherwise, it is a GREAT TRUCK to tool around town in!! It sure turns heads!!
