That strap is much better than a 100' for the type of wheeling we'll be encountering at Uwharrie. Most of the trails are tight and a 100' strap would just be too long to work well.

 

Good to know.
What do you think about my other questions.
Meaning, getting an Aussie Locker and a High Lift jack. And Have you ever seen someone weld a hitch directly to the frame on the front end and have it hold up? I really goobered the weld all the way around where the hitch contacts the frame.


I also remembered the cracked transfer case issue and thought I'd share some pictures of it.

 

i wouldn't trust it being welded to the frame i have mine bolted to the tow hook spots, but then again the hitch is welded together so i guess it should hold...

 

I would think it would hold up as well. If you're really worried you could always do both.

 

I thought about doing both, then I got to thinking that the entire frame is welded together to begin with. I figure that the frame would give out before the hitch would.

I talked to the guy in the Z71 the other day and asked him about whether or not he knew about the trail rating system, his reply "Yeah, I hit 'em all". I wonder why he got that rock rash on the bottom of his doors...

Is anyone that is going to be at Uwharrie running open differentials? I'm thinking that I won't get very far with them after seeing some YouTube videos of people running out there.

 

Mine are completely stock, so I know i wont be going on some of those advanced trails!

 

You don't have LSD in the rear?

 

yes I do

 

So your truck will probably make mine look bad if I don't get a traction aid in the differential(s) before Uwharrie. You had better watch out, someone might chain a boulder to your hitch to even the odds.... not that I would do something like that

 

HA HA HA I dont think you will need to do that!! now meanwhitemopar on the other hand, you better get him a big boulder!!!
