Right... NOT THAT DANGEROUS?? LOL... I re-read some info & I was wrong on my post. I'd say go e-locker or ARB. Even if it's just one.

Volcom, is your truck a DD?

Well, we here at YotaTech take responsible and legal wheeling very seriously. If you're gonna make such an ambiguous statement, be prepared for some passionate responses.

As an aside, I don't think Fred was being a jerk. He asked a reasonable question.

haha well then maybe this wouldn't be the best time to say that I use to be notorious for that

My only argument is that I still retain the stock exhaust and smog system, which operates beautifully, and I don't purposefully destroy things. I also don't go on (privately) owned property. The city's property on the other hand? Well, I'd like to think I should get some compensation for the use of my taxes. "Technically" its a little bit of everyones land. But that's just my opinion.

No, but it could be if needed. I'll try it out in the snow later in the year. I drive pretty slow in the snow anyways so I'm not expecting to notice a huge difference in the way it drives.

I'm not the jerk, or being a jerk.

In case you haven't kept up on current events, it's the morons that are driving off the trails, "opening up" new trails on other than private land that are primary responsible for getting trails closed completely.

So, it's a damned valid question to ask.

i understand your point. i am very sorry; i misunderstood what you guys were saying and thought you were making a juvenile joke.

i apologize!

the trails that my buddies and i make are on land that we have permission from the owners to trail on. the only land that we do otherwise on is DNR land, where every competent wheeler in our area goes as well. also, we do not open up new trails there; we stick to what has already been carved out.

again, i apologize for the misunderstanding.

Glad to hear that you guys are responsible. Too much stuff is being closed off....Very easy for misunderstanding to occur..

Sounds like you are on the right track for a capable truck...
