2004 Explorer off road 4x4 rear locker installed

Just installed the PowerTrax No-Slip Traction System rear locker on my Explorer. Testing in this video are in Otay Mountain Truck Trail and Berdoo Canyon Trail. All climbs were done in 4x4 Auto.

I forgot these were four wheel independent suspension also. Cool.

Where is this trail located? I usually go off-roading once a month around yucca valley but I wanna give this location a shot!

Nice X! Do you have standard 8,8" rear differential or you make change to Dana diff? I have exactly the same model of Explorer and try to find information about real using of PowerTrax No-Slip diffs. Do you install it by yourself or it was made at service? Any difficulties obtain while installing? As a real user of this type of diff do you recommend to install it? How it goes on smooth surface in town and on a highway? Thanks and best regards, Leo

Leonid Antonenko The PowerTrax is one of my favorite mods I've done to the rig! Highly recommend it along with BTF UCAs if you do a lot of off roading. I had a friend who is a mechanic help with install. As far as normal street use the locker is pretty tame. You'll get tires screeching if it's a tight turn on an incline or smooth surface but can be totally avoided with light throttle. Normal driving on normal asphalt it's fine no ratcheting sounds at all. Love mine

Thanks for your reply! So you had installed PowerTrax inside your stock 8.8" rear diff shell? Or you have to change it for some other shell? Do you change main gear or leave the stock one?

[@rome0175]

Leonid Antonenko The powertrax was installed inside my stock 8.8 diff. Just removed the factory LSD and installed it

Do diffs apply to AWD VEHICLES

[@jasonlyle3818]

[@harmeetsidhu5171]

is it the body lift or the suspension lift?

[@rome0175]

Harmeet Sidhu No body lift. Just suspension

[@harmeetsidhu5171]

Overland Xploder how much did you lift and is it easy to get?

[@rome0175]

Harmeet Sidhu I got the lift from BTF-Fabrication.com it's about 3inch lift and it's easy if you are experienced mechanic

[@harmeetsidhu5171]

how much did it cost and thanks for the information bro.

[@rome0175]

Harmeet Sidhu I believe their prices have changed since I got them a couple years back. Try their website.. I spent maybe $800 for spacers and arms

[@barrya.6212]

No offense...but not much of a locker test video...more like photo shoot for 04 Explorer.....

[@rome0175]

Barry A. No offense taken.. this was my first time taking it out and was still breaking it in so I was taking it easy. Maybe the title is misleading. If you wanna see what I do with it now check out my IG @turd_gen_exploder thanks for your feedback and watching.
