random dicussion on whats most important
what is the most important aspect of wheeling? is it drivers skill, is it powerful engines, is it big tires, is it 4wd, is it lockers, or anything else u can think of. and heres my view. i wheel with my 2wd, 94' pu with nothing new except the air filter. and personaly, i think i do just fine. yea, im workin on a couple of upgrades, such as exhaust and more intake stuff, but as of lifts and such, i wont lift it until i have the money to make sure its perfect, and im not goin higher than 3 inches. maybe some slightly bigger tires, some lockers far far in the future, headers even farther, and maybe by the time im out of college i'll have a truck that looks as good as it wheels. so ur turn, whats ur view?

Boils down to knowing the perfect ratio of the ingredients you've laid out there. Perfection measured on what you need, to do what. Very application specific. There are a few things you failed to mentioned there, some of those are very subtle, and of lesser importance ,and some not so. Vehicle weight, wheelbase, center of gravity, etc. Mother nature dictates all. Skills are learned from her, ultimately. Coming with time put in behind the wheel, on her terms, in her classroom.
I personally think the most important aspect, has nothing to do with any of that, really. I crave shifting my transfer case into 4h/l for the simple thrill of knowing what follows, it almost always involves taking risks of one form or other. FUN STUFF, any way you slice it!

I believe it is mostly Driver skill.
Granted having all the extra perks as you listed would help the driver even more.
It is all in the limitation of know what your Rig can do.
For example,
When I went to Paragon.
I went with two modified Jeeps, I am stock with no e-locker, accept for some BFG A/Ts and the cheap mods that YT has to offer
I did just as well as they did.
And I was the only one to drive my Rig,
but when the jeep drivers switched off, you could see who knew how to drive and who did not.
I even took step dads 4Runner to a place that I take Mine to test how it felt off-road, he has the Goodyear silent armor and thats about it, and his was just as good as mine.
But I believe more, it's the driver than the rig,
What ever is on the rig is there to assist the driver IMHO
