Also, is it about the same difficulty as the badlands area, or much worse? I ran the badlands area totally stock and it didn't seem too bad. Hopefully sliders / 33's / 2.5" lift should be fine?
If the above is true, I might be down since I haven't met anyone in here.

The ATRAC on the 4th Gens made all the difference in a number of spots. So Jared will be fine for the most, still need to pay attention when driving 
.
We had an older pickup with us with only a LSD in the back. On a number of climbs the pickup had issues due to traction, he managed to get it through with careful driving and some "road building" in spots. So deathrunner I hope you have lockers or LSDs or else you will have a bit of a challenge on your hands if you run some of the climbs we did a couple weeks back. You guys will most probably run different climbs than we did, so who knows. Truckhaven is not exactly a single trail type area.
Have fun!!

Rad, I'm locked. I think my only real downfalls at this point are the lack of power (22re...yes I have 4.88's) and the width of my rig (probably as wide as a 4th gen)

Is it really that tight? I woudln't be afraid of wrangler canyon. But if it gets much tighter it probably ain't for me quite yet. I got some hard ass Dupont stage 3 paint so it is pretty tough.

the rear uprights are going to have a swing out for the tire, hi-lift and axe. along with a tab for my light and c.b. antenna. i'll keep posting pics as work gets done. my buddy is doing all this in his spare time he wants my truck to be his business card, because he wants to start doing fab work as his side job and opposed to construction... all i'm paying for is materials......

That's awesome. Now Alex will have a ladder to use when climbing in with the top off!!!
No offense, but why do you need an axe?
Especially in California. Or by axe did you mean:

Nah, just one I found on google real quick.
Here are a couple that I've sold recently:

I painted my spare fuel cans like them too, I'm a nerd.
