I'm trying to analyze why Matt's posts
'set me off'.

When I run with non-Xterra 4x4's groups,
the overwhelming response to the lockers is
very positive. There are usually a mix of
totally stock to fairly trick rigs on the runs.

I make no secret to the fact that I am fairly new to 4x4'ing. Even from the the most exhaulted 4x4 guru's I am encourged to use the lockers as learning tools.

"Ok - now try this. You want to go this way and then that way, etc. See - you can do it."

I feel I have learned far more (and faster) by using lockers than by not using them.

So I was taken back when I saw the posts saying 'don't do that'.

I doubt either one of us is going to change his viewpoint. I just wanted to present a different one.
