Gwagen Off-road videos.

I'll start with this one which greatly impressed me. I'm very surprised that he did not get stuck!

(Action starts at :40)

It was pure luck he didn't get stuck. No driver skill & AT tires in that slop. I don't know it the Gwagon has factory lockers or not. I'll be t he wouldn't have even tried it if he didn't have a winch on the front.

Most G's have factory lockers, only a few didn't have them and a Mill spec truck like the one in the video almost certainly has them.

W460/1s front and rear
W463s front, center, and rear.

Depending on which exact version this is, you can lock them from inside and not have to get out in that slop. I forgot when they started making those, though.

Actually you can lock the diffs on a G from the inside on every version. I've never seen or heard of one where you have to get out of the truck to lock them.

Two hydraulic actuators on the W460/1s
FS: 1980 300GD in Virginia (With Pics)

And an electronic switch on the W463s. (I believe they are operated by a vacuum on the W463s but I need to double check)
