So nearly as capable as a stock Jimny then :)

Even a novice to off roading with the few minutes eduction can get out of most situations with locking diffs and in the hands of an experienced driver if a car can't make progress with locked diffs then progress can't be made. I'm not saying that locked diffs are infallible but they are better than traction control.


Yes, Lockers are the ultimate traction solution. Even one locker on a Jimny makes every other 4x4 look stupid, in the right hands.
