I just wanted to get all the warnings in so you don't get mad at me if it's more that your ready for right now.

I may have made it sound fairly easy but look at the mods I have, especially the front and rear air lockers. 2 people died on the trail this year and it is the roughest now I've seen it in 6 years. I have done it in the past without ever locking my diffs, but the trail was in better shape then.
