What did he bust?

It was hard watchin the 1st 2 Jeeps trying to crush the cop car without lockers.  They pushed the car around rather than climb it.

When I tried the CN climb the guy did try to move the bottom rocks closer to the first ledge.  However, getting over that was not the problem.  I had the front wheels over the last block, but once there both front and rear tires were in the dirt;  couldn't even get a rear tire onto the concrete block.   >:(  Everything else was point and shoot.

I found my fan problem this morning - one of its wires wasn't ziptied properly, so it got jammed in the coliover spring and had the insulation rubbed off.  Fixed it this morning, and fuse doesn't blow.  I had to quite trying Saturday afternoon since I was overheating due to that issue.  Motor runs strong.

Props to cru9 for leading our group on the trail.

That first vehicle (Knuckles Off-Road) I don't think even had his 4WD on when he started.  Looked like he threw it in after realizing it.  Probably too excited to get out there and forgot  ;D

Dose Locker take a lot of the fun away? It would seem to me that it makes verything easy.I like a challenge. Sometimes I have to pull the winch out.

Lockers allow you to run better and way more fun trails plus I think it is safer. You have more control.

Heck no! I mean if your idea of a challenge is high wheel speed and hopes to pull through and risk the break of a fast moving part then yes. But a locker doesn't make things easier except the easy trails. I have always said, a locker just gets you stuck further away...
