Talking Pics from Rausch creek!

It was a good day. We started with 8 vehicals one guy snaped his rear drive shaft. I bent my tie rod and steering stabilizer. You can do it in a full size truck there was tight spots. I had a spotter get me around the tight areas. A lift would help a lot and 33" not 30". I would like to tell every one to hook up with some ppl and go. Watch out for the rocks and make sure you get on a green trail! Heres the link enjoy!

Looks like it was a blast dude. I'm glad you can get to enjoy that. My shiny truck that I spend hours detailing will never see surfaces that treacherous.

It was a blast a full size truck was tight but I had a spotter help me out a bit. When it was locked in 4lo it was hard to turn. Not eunff slipping to make it spin easy.

did you air down your tires before hitting the trails? i know that will give you a bigger footprint and help with puncture resistance.

so i watched the videos. i saw a few trucks go up that little hill toward the end effortlessly, then i saw yours go and spin at the top. what happened? why did the vid stop early? did you hit it and get over the top or did someone give you a tug?

i don't know if i'd want to try trails like that with the tires i have now. ameritrac generals are really soft crappy tires that don't like rocks. and it'd kill me to be somewhere like that with open diffs.
