So then what would you downgrade or not use based on how this truck is already equipped? I don't have to engage the Dual Transfer Cases or Air Lockers. In fact, I probably wouldn't attempt anything where that was necessary for quite a while, unless got stuck, etc.
And regarding comparing Crawling to Racing, those are apples and oranges. Crawling is a young sport with less technological advancements compared to Formula or IRL or even SCCA Miata racing. If the sport ever takes off enough to attract big sponsors maybe more advancements through expensive R&D would make it comparable. But I think your example is slightly biased.
Definitely appreciate your opinion and that it brings caution and concern to the fore, but we probably differ in our experiences when it comes to tackling new sports/motorsports.
No hard feelings, and I do welcome your input.
