The truth is out there, but you need lockers to reach it.

why would you NEED lockers?
They are helpful, but there are other means of assuring continuous forward movement.
It's just simple physics
none of the Einstein stuff

That's pretty funny from a guy that just said this:
"Gears and lockers?
Well, if you don't have that from the start, you picked the wrong truck."
And I thought you had no sense of humor.

A-TRAC is amazing for traction. Harald and the good German engineers at Bosch are to thank, I hear!?

Could only have come from Pacific Ocean side. I would bet the early inhabitants brought them.

Seriously? There are no sand dollars in the gulf? I wish I would have known it then, would have changed my whole outlook. I just figured they came
from the gulf and didn't really pay attention.
One had a bunch of holes in it and I just thought it was weathering, now....

Sand dollars (Clypeasteroida sp.) are common in the Sea of Cortez. There is a small cove/beach just south of Punta San Francisquito where
they are so abundant the regulars at PFQ used to call it the Sand Dollar Beach.

Humor?
I am German - we don't have humor.

I proposed a rudimentary system 10 years before the first Mercedes introduction. I was laughed at by all the engineers - "You can not interfere with
the brake system, you idiot!"
Well, now we can.
Murat Okcuoglu, a brilliant Turkish engineer came up with another very effective traction control system. First introduced by Jeep around 1999
