I'm impressed. It looks like the WK2 had to remove part of its front bumper to better his approach angle though. But I am impressed that it did so well and someone would take sunch a new expensive vehicle up that trail.

Lockers can be dangerous, especially up front, from what I've for two reasons. I'm still going to get one one of these days, but they can lead to more accidents. They allow you to climb more than would be possible if you if you were open, making it easier to literally climb onto your side, where you would be stopped by lack of traction if running open differentials.
Second, since they force both tires to move, they break the static friction that provides lateral stability. Once the static friction is broken the vehicle is more apt to slide sideways. If at least one front tire is stationary then its friction would help stabilize the vehicle. I saw both of these in play on the YJ.
