Winter is coming to the Oregon Cascades, and a crew of seven Subarus hits a primitive backcountry route after the first snows have fallen. Among them, four have been equipped with the TorqMasters R160 Torq Locker: A Subaru Forester, a Subaru Outback, and Subaru Baja, and a Subaru Crosstrek. See how those of us with open diffs stack up against the Lockeroos™ on the trickest part of the trail.

This isn't specifically a Torq Locker testing video. This is one of my usual adventure videos which happens to include some Torq Locker content. If you're not interested in seeing the rest of our snowy muddy trail run through some beautiful Oregon Cascades wilderness, you can skip to 12:21 compare how all the Subarus with and without lockers tackle the same obstacle.

Thanks to John Bloom of Mudrat Design & Fabrication for organizing the trip. Find John on Instagram at @mudratdesignandfab. Also along today:

Thanks to my son Colin for shooting assistance and just being good company out on the trail.
