You can see in the following ones that I had my buddy along as photographer after his axle snapped. Gives kind of a play by play of one of the trails.

In the 3rd to last pic of the previous post you can see the hill climb we went up after the creek. Definitely needed a bit of momentum on it. Not the steepest of the day, but the length made it intimidating for my buddy in the red jeep. He was an offroad virgin going into the day.

Are there enough high-center spots and tight spots that I'd have trouble in the shake-rattle-and-roll box? See a lot of full-sizes at Attica, so I wouldn't think so, but I've only been there on dirt bikes, so I haven't been on the truck-only side...

You could have a good day. Check pirate for the thread I am in w a guy that had a FS chev on 36s...w ifs, out there. He would know what trails you would fit since he was ext cab as well. I think there are plenty of parts, but not sure on whole trails you would fit it.
