Just aly on the skinny pedel, it seems to work for Marc pretty well. Point, shoot, and hope for the best.

We do have a few winches on the trip, Rob and Greg both have one. I was hoping to have a Warn bolted into mine by that time but I'm looking to move into a town home the week after we get back, so it's priority #1 right now.

We should be okay, I'm personally gunning for Slickrock, after that I'm up for a ride along, IFS has reached it's max for Tellico after that, unless you care nothing about the body.

You're right, hopefully I will have the hydro X-steering done by Fall Crawl & have the front locked & cryoed gears as well. Then my T-case will be the wink link. I don't want to grenade that just yet.
As it is now I am on the search for a beefy driveshaft & U-joints.

I just want to be able to stand on the skinny pedal & not grenade anything (very hard with the V-8). That's the goal, then on to exo, winch etc...

I'm not sure how long it's been since you've been there, over the past 3 years I've been there, it's gotten worse every time. The only trail I'd be comfortable having a 2WD on would be #1, the gravel access road and possibly #4. But all the trails have become really rough, #5 is rutted out really bad and sliders are becoming nessasary even there. But your more than welcome to come and ride along with any of us, I know I'll have a spot open.

I guess I am just looking forward to River Rock, but I posted the above for River Rock. I do plan to go to Tellico but it is not definite yet. I just ordered my 35" Pit Bull Rockers too.
