if he would have went to the left at the first spot he would have made it a lot further but would have taken a lot of damage

From watching the videos, it looks like he would have destroyed the truck in that mud hole near the end!

I still wish I could have been there too! Oh well... I guess I have the whole summer to make my way over there once my truck gets done.

You could do most of the moderate trails in 2wd no problem.

And yes meanwhite I was in 2WD most of the day, 4 lo was nice on rocky climbs though, just crawl up at and less work for the truck!
I pulled mine in 4lo as soon as we left the service road. I could have left it in 2wd for a good bit of it but I would have been ******* it in spots like Pat was.
Those steep hills were nice in 4lo, on the steep ones I was only pulling around 1300 rpm.
I slapped it in 4hi for the mud hole though so I could rip through it.

If you go down US1 to pick up 24 to get there then I'm half way there. You'll drive 45 minutes south, then I could meet ya at the turn for 24 since it's 5 minutes from me, then it's only another hour from there. I'm game when you get that truck built.
We could get meanwhite out there too and I could park my truck and ride with one of y'all and hit Daniel, it's the toughest trail out there and I'm sure those humvee tires wouldn't have any trouble on it.

Wait... doesn't Daniel require lockers and a winch to go down?

It will be a while after my truck is done before it sees lockers, but I want to get a cable actuated locker for the front and an automatic locker for the rear (rear comes first!!).

Yank those steps before you go and the sway bar when you get there. If you have one guy getting each side of the sway bar it'll come off in no time.
