    No, they definitely expressed their disgruntlement at my being able to go to both events...lol. I have to bring them pics for Hallowharrie event. I wish they could go, they aren't willing to make that haul...this is probably the only time I will get to go too, unless I move back to the west coast...which is not likely...ever.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Lockers indeed

    I don't have pics uploaded yet since they are on the wifey's camera, but I finally did some wheelin in my VX this weekend too. My wife, daughter, and myself rode in the VX, and my friend rode in his Toyota. We went to a local "off road park" that I have never been to. It was mostly dirt with a little bit of mud here and there, about 200 acres.
    I too came to the conclusion that the VX needs a locker, at least in the rear. I'm not real confident with IFS + lockers. It's been my experience that that usually leads to broken axles. A rear locker and some decent MT tires are both on my list, when funds are available. I have the regular old BFG ATs, and they are merely decent off road. They are great for on/off road, but I think a good set of MTs would be way better.

    I tried to follow my friend in his dedicated rock crawler 4runner. All of my friends that rock crawl love those old 80s Yotas. His has a straight axle front, lockers front and rear, plenty of lift and gears and 39.5 inch tires. Needless to say my VX was outclassed.

    So, did I read somewhere that we can't just through an Aussie or something in our rear ends? (yes, that sounds kinda funny ) Has anybody ever ran a Lincoln locker in a VX? For those that have never heard of that, that's when you weld up the diff to make a permanent connection... like with a Lincoln welder... How does the TOD like a locked axle at either end?

    Also, what's the scoop on locked IFS in a VX? I might be considering a SAS with a Toyota axle or something in the future, if I hold on to the VX.
