was everyone who went locked? or were there some rigs with open diffs like mine. and did you all have sliders too. those are the 2 things that i think i need before i go to tellico. For some reason i'm scared to go without them. but i really wanna go though.

I had 265/75's (~32"s) with sliders and only drug them a couple of times - very lightly too. What got beat to hell was the skids underneath. They took it well. I only used the locker maybe 8 or 10 times on the tough stuff. At first, I'd lock up before I even tried a line. Later in the day, I'd give everything a try first and was really suprised what I could make it through unlocked. Brian (waskillywabbit) was runing 285/75's (~33"s) with open diffs and did fine.

hmm i'll have my 33's by monday and sliders soon and maybe a locker with in a few months so by the time the new tellico trip is planed i'll be (in my mind) prepared. if not i trust you guys when you say i should be fine if i'm careful and i'll just go anyways.
thanks,

Looks like a big group - Steve told me that he does not have a lot of reservations made for this group - better make them soon !

I have the Downey HD springs in the rear now and may not get my sliders on by November. going either way - pay attention to the spotters and pick the best line and you will not have any problems.
