A little different perspective: went wheeling with a newish 4Runner guy on a tough trail. He had no lockers, so I was not sure how he would do. He did great, with computer-controlled traction whatsit thingamabobby stuff. I was duly impressed, it worked.

Engines aren't as simple either- but they are wayyyyy more efficient, and cleaner, than my 22RE. Mind you, I drive an older truck and prefer it, but increased complexity (in some cases at least) is not the end of life as we know it.

I hope to do something about that non-current engine inefficiency this winter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
