it might be a little much for your truck just cuz its meant for gnarly pre runners and stuff but in ocotillo theres a place called the phone booth which is like a jeep area with trails and stuff from easy to extremely hard, but ocotillo is my favorite because im on bikes but barstow is truck place.

did you see the videos of the suspension he's puttin on? i seriously doubt it'd be too much for that system. maybe he wont be able to take the course at 90+ like the trophy trucks, but im sure he'll be able to hold his own. certainly better than any truck on this site...even if it is a 3500 mega cab!!

there are plenty of off road area's in socal. just to name a few, california city, lacurne valley, barstow, el mirage, ocotillo, glamis, gorman, anza borego, lake havasu (in arizona), thats just a few. but ocotillo is a sure place to checkout. its the nicest around.

sick man, blowin out shocks lol. ive done that..when i though it was cool to hit this half *** trail and they sent me shocks that were for a 4" lift and i was running 8 lol....about 5 minutes of bumping around and the damn piston pulled right out. so i drove around like a week or so with a busted shock lol. id like to get a toy hauler but i need more to toys to justify it lol. 2 bikes and a 4 wheeler doesnt constitute a 40' toy hauler IMO lol....one day though....
