As I stated before, I've run this setup on a similar truck here in the NW where it rains a bunch, and I am comfortable with it. I ride my bike around town, and only used it to drive on the hwy out into the woods.
You are right though, everyone must make there own decisions when it comes to safety. I would not recomend this setup for someone else.
I have heard on the suzuki samurai sites that the lock right type lockers that engage through sentrafucial force are more likely to break things, because they get spinning up to speed then engage. The spool is harder on the truck than stock, but if you are easy on the pedal, like anyone who wants to get the big mpg's is, I should be fine.
