Sweet ain't it.
I was thinking of a run on Jan 7th, and do Reno Pass, another everyone run, but don't expect it to be a dirt road. But stock stuff can make it with a little effort.

I know your frame is 17" on the money.

Ok, I'll spill the beans. Over the last year, my sliders have migrated upward. Yes I welded them on correclty. 
So I came up with these "shock absorbing" legs on the way to Moab last October. Finally got a design I liked and was simple. Basically your truck has a suspension to absorb blows, so will my sliders to absorb blows. We'll see how it goes.
I upraded the legs from 1/8" wall to 3/16" wall as well. 1/8" is for center consoles. Just ask Cheese.
I'll probably re-install the sliders tomorrow. This will NEVER be a product as the amount of time to build these is absurd, but when it's for me, it's free.

Looks to be rated that high because of tipping. Know anything more about this?We should probably start another thread for the trip planning.

I'll make a trip thread, I looked in the Wells book and it does not seem all that bad. Keep in mind it has the same rateing a Sunflower Mine.
We'll be fine. I have a winch.

I am building 3 bumpers right now. Jan and Feb is pretty booked up at well. That will probably be it for bumpers for a while, I don't make enough on them.
