Nice vids man. That first hole looked crazy from the out side looking in. But other then the water it looks like the bottom is pretty solid? Up here if you see a hole like that in the power lines its normally bottomless or the opposite and filled with granite that smashes the **** out of your rig.

its somewhat solid...but if you spin out it digs a hole VERY fast lol, i had to pull the nissan out of it because he power braked it before exiting the puddle, and he went down really quick lol....it gets deeper though, and after i change my axle seals, and u-joints, ill be doing things a little more extream

and its all sand, no rocks or anything, just sand and water for miles upon miles

Where's all the mud at? That's what the place looks like we go out too looks like, snow with some water.

I plan on taking out my truck a lot less this year because things get expensive...

IMG956807-1.jpg?t=1266589527

4 wheel bearings
both outer tie rode ends
tie rod collar
track bar
power steering gear box
axle seal

There's more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.


I'm going to be taking this out all the time this year instead.

Time for someone to take 2 minutes and create a Photobucket account.

Why not get an Aussie locker for the front? 250$ sounds pretty tempting for a locker that takes less than an hour to install.

There are options even for DD. Mine was a DD with a rear LSD and front OX. If you don't go that route, get a winch.
