That looks like a blast though! Great pictures
yea i am still working on that, i really am close to ordering the power trax lock right for the front but im still undecided on what i want in the rear end. but probably a detroit in the back...
i forgot to mention this last night..... well all those pics are from a place we go to called carter road.....anyways after that we went to the lakeland mudhole last night because they rebuilt it, the friend in the f-250 on 44's, rick, wanted to go through the middle which is the worst part, well anyway we have the same axles on our trucks and he got stuck and broke his front pinion in half. we werent even there for 5 minutes yet. you could shine a light were the pinion was and see the bearings had went bad and caused the pinion to slip out of place and break. and yes, i made it through the worst part
Road from Balcony Arch to Pritchett Arch x2 (Ben's reg cab Taco & me spotting, my Tundra & Ben's dad on camera in background), somewhere in The Grabens x2 (Badgermobile & my truck), Dollhouse approach, road past Teapot Rock, entering The Squeeze on the Elephant Hill loop.

Tell your buddy he needs to condsider putting on the 54" tall Boggers next They are only $650 - $750 a piece too.
Those 44"s look puny on that truck Seriously.
Plus it will be another 5" taller afterwards with some 54's and it will be the boggers you need for the type of offroading you're doing.
You and your buddy need new tires... bad. Lockers with some low gears to get the power back to spin those huge tires. Take out a personal loan from the bank and go have some fun spending the cash on those trucks. I would.

well the friend is getting 2.5 ton rockwells and 53" michelin military tires..... so ya . but yes i will be getting lockers soon enough, but i will probably be going with a smaller tire once i take the body lift off and lower the front an inch or so.
crazy offroadin basta**s. I couldnt see how you would get something like that stuck.
Tank trap . Ever seen a stuck tank ?
Hey Pimp, check on Pirate about the Michelins. Unless your buddy's rig is a good 12K# the Michelins aren't gonna do very well, he'll be running low single digits to get any decent sidewall flex. There was a guy who ran them in one of the TTC comps, he switched back to Interco with some interesting comments. The big Michs are really just good at being heavy tires for really heavy (Unimog, etc) rigs.
LTB, SX and Boggers all come big and ready to groove...
