I went without armor, and I was fine. I didn't even rip the air dam off the front bumper cover. I don't recomend it, though. Especially if you live more than 30 minutes away. I watched a stock s-10 blazer, and a stock Cherokee ride most of the yellow trails, when I went.
I DON'T care what my GMT360 was designed to do, I care about what it can do!

There's trails for all levels...we'll make it happen and hopefully get everyone home like they came.

Says the other guy without armor All you got to do is be gentle, the radiator/AC is far more vulnerable than the oil pan. Just watch what you run over or through.
they've always worked for me.

I hope you notice, I kept it going myself, as well. I see no need to stop a perfectly good joke.

I am still on the fence here. I ordered almost everything I need today, it is just a matter of if it comes in and I have enough time to build/rebuild.

So...Turkey Bay is closed due to the government shutdown.
Hoping they remedy this in time for the ride.

Didn't you rearrange parts of this truck? Like the engine?

Yeah... I rolled it. I have engine mounts to put in it. That, for the moment, seems to be the only broken thing. I tried starting it up, and she fired right up, after being upside down a few hours. That was after she had been right side up a few days. I still need to replace all the gear oil, where applicable. Besides the dents, and the rearranged role cage, she should be back to normal.
