Gears & Lockers

When it comes to off-roading, your vehicle’s gears and lockers are what give you the traction and control needed to conquer tough terrain. The differential, located between the drive wheels, allows them to spin at different speeds when turning, which is essential for smooth driving on pavement. However, in challenging off-road conditions, this same feature can cause one wheel to spin freely while the other loses grip.

That is where lockers come in. Locking differentials temporarily lock both wheels together so they rotate at the same speed, giving your vehicle the grip needed to climb, crawl, and power through obstacles.

Upgrading your ring and pinion gears can also enhance performance by optimizing torque delivery and compensating for larger tires or lift kits. Whether you are building a weekend trail rig or a heavy-duty work vehicle, our team at Bullhide 4x4 can help you choose the right gear ratios and locker setup for your needs.
