Theres a very high chance I'll have open diffs if I even get the truck done by then.

i will be hitting what ever my heart desires... which wil mostly likely be the stuff yall hit, and i will be recovery

i could care less about dents and scrathes... as long as it is in places i already have them.. from what i see on the youtube videos, there are a few pretty good holes for mud out there if anyone wants to hit that with me... : )

oh and so you all know, i have the 3/4 ton LSD in the rear, and open front, but i have 37's of tire.. and i will either drag that bolder, or snap the chain... lol

ill hit just about anyting i can get my front tires over. not woried about dents b/c they invented this great thing called the dent doctor haha. plus whats a truck without a little character? Mopar i would love to see you try Daniel. its a tough trail but your setup could definitely handle it. yours too 318slt.

and ill probably be taking the front bumper off for the trail. is there a quick and simple way to remove the bumper? i havent even really looked yet.

yeah these trails don't require any LSD although they can't hurt. Like I said I was out there last year in a completely sock dakota and was keeping up with wranglers out there. And when I say stock I mean it still had STREET radials on it. I've seen more aggressive tread patterns on sports cars thats how street those tires where and I was fine. I've also seen little yota Rav4's out there struggling and scraping but they were making it none the less. So I should think that everyone on here should be fine, and if you're not I have a which to pull everyone out.

I'm not leading! I've never been there before and I'm not that experienced offroading.

I did find the solution to my problem though! I haven't started this swap yet because I couldn't find anyone with a plasma cutter who would let me borrow it and I definately can't afford one. But I found a place near me in Raleigh that rents tools and heavy equipment. So I might rent a plasma cutter and 250 amp wire feed welder from them and go to town! But now that I found that its definately going to be started next week! I have no excuses left :P
