Mike, looking back at the pictures I think you are correct. It would have taken a bit more to get it to go over, however it sure didn't feel that way when I was sitting in the seat!
My entire goal going into the day was to really push myself and the truck. That's why the running statement of the day was "ehhh, you have a winch!" I am a bit depressed that we didn't get to use it though, I will have to work harder next time!
Bot, thanks for the kind words. I think it may even be time for me to make my build thread. It would be really cool to see some of you east coast folks make a journey out here and we can hold our own weekend pilgrimage to Badlands.
Kyle, you were certainly missed brother. Hopefully it works out next time. We need to plan on a weekend trip and hit up the campground.
