Wheel the Dmax. We saw plenty of stock pickups out there last time. Only a couple obstacles would be tough for a stock pickup. You'll be fine on 35's.

I'm planning on driving my truck this time so If i can do it, you can too. If not, I should have room for a passenger.

EDIT: A vast majority of it is just dirt and gravel roads and switchbacks. There are a couple long, rocky hill climbs, and a couple mud holes. DirtyAnton's truck has pretty poor turning radius and he only had to K turn one tight corner. None of the trails are particularly tight or narrow.

There was even a stock suburban with a family with little kids camping where we camped the first night.

It is not really a wheeling trip. Its an adventure camping trip. Nothing like Rauch or Badlands or Windrock. I use the transfer in low for gearing not for the 4x4. Most is 2wd territory.

I think we should plan a trip to meet a rausch or badlands soon

Whats the problem! My turning radius is just as good as a 1988 f350 tow truck!

No problem at all. Was just making the point that the trails aren't to tight for Ben's D-max and that his pickup isn't too big.

I guess I do. I really really want to drive the 6 hours back to Coal Creek and it is tougher than Badlands and most places I have been.

Ah no skids just sliders and worn down 32s I was alright had a few mishaps and got stuck once and 2-3 giant dents on my LCA that I thought were my radiator but it's alright as long as we chill on green and slightly blue trails we will be alright!

If I'm not mistaken, the last few times I've seen you, You were crying that you would never go back to Rousch Creek because it wasn't worth tearing up your stuff that far from home...

I think Jason can agree with me.

Jackie (the jeep chick) had mentioned last weekend we should go...

Maybe we can post up a thread soon about it.

I wish April wasn't so damned far away

HMMM I know my truck is quickly turning into a hot mess. Lot more body damage then cough all the other SAS Rigs. 4 out of 5 times it goes out it comes back in pieces

by **HARDTRAILZ** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 10:42 am

Doesn't body damage mean you are choosing the wrong line or the wrong trail? :poke:

by **Nakashige** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:36 am

haha new england wheeling at its best. I think i can fit through there .... put it into a tree to get up the hill.

Is it ok to bring a heavy Chevy Tahoe along on this trip?

I didn't see a location throughout the posts...where is this going to be held?
