ned946 Member Registered: 17/08/00 Posts: 900	Just an opinion here...... I see that the X may have another locker option other than ARB. I really do feel that if a 2wd had a locker, it would be very close to a 4x4 in its wheeling capability. Just food for thought!

Just food for thought! Not even close. Having traction 104 inches apart makes a huge difference. I have seen 2WD trucks with rear lockers or spools fail to get up stuff that 4WDs drove up without even spinning a tire. _________________________ nom nom nom

Quote: Originally posted by Angelo: Hmm, hearing others talk about dents and bumps caused by offroading seems to make me second guess myself about going offroad. My X is barely 5 months old, I don't really want to scratch it up yet, if ever... Damage is a fact of life if you offroad. Each person has to decide for themselves that the risk is worth it. I had scratches within a month and at 3 months I crunched the driver side rear door and quarter panel on a tree. My girlfriend was shocked I wasn't pissed about it. I found 4 new dents after washing the truck this weekend. I'm just glad I have yellow, so the scratches don't show as well as they do on black.

I have fun with it on the street. Well said. I'll add: 1. 4x4 was more money. 2. Insurance is more with a 4x4.
