Hey look.
HAHAHAHA that was the gayest thing I have ever seen. "LOOK GUYS I WENT OVER LUMPY DIRT!" you could'a saved the thousand bucks and just drove 10 feet to the right and completely missed the rough part in the road. OR you could have bought a Subaru and done like 50 MPH over those bumps, that would'a been cool...
EDIT: The squeaky brakes at the end were the icing on the cake.

Is this what you have front and rear, or is it the limited slip ones?

Also, did you upgrade the axle shafts? Sorry for 20 questions, just curious.

The one you linked:
These Eaton Detroit Lockers are designed to maximize traction by delivering 100 percent of the torque and power to both drive wheels. They are engineered to keep both wheels in a constant drive mode and have the ability to automatically allow wheel speed differentiation when required.
I believe he has these:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dtl-912a383/overview/
"These Eaton Detroit Truetrac differentials use a patented design of parallel-axis planetary helix gears to provide a quiet, automatic splitting of torque. They perform like an open differential under normal driving conditions, automatically transferring torque to the wheel with better traction when ground conditions warrant."
The detroit is a "true" locker..when driving straight down the road its 100% locked, in a turn it unlocks.
The trutrac is more a limited slip diff.
Glad to hear you like the setup...i will be calling GBR later today to get some pricing on getting a complete 3rd member with gears and a locker for the front and rear...probably go with the 2 trutracs as well.

I'm also running stock axle shafts and haven't had a problem so far. Obviously it wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade, but I've been anywhere from multiple off road parks to attend Rover events, to Colorado, to Moab Utah, and etc... over the years and haven't had issues... yet.

I've been reading up on these, and most state that if a wheel is in the air you need to apply brake to lock it. In your video it didn't seem that way. Even if that was the case the TC would lock it without you having to press the brakes. Does the TC still kick in a lot in off camber situations in order to lock it?
