Come over to my house and try my creek bed out, you'll do fine on the rocks but to get to it, gotta go down a hill and climb back out of one. My buddy uses AT's for a DD and I laughed at how pissed he got trying to wheel the creek bed.

You should go to the Misty Mountain/Crozet event Sept 23-24th.

I hope to have mine ready by then

i like my bfg a/t's. im not expecting them to do so well out there tho. with my lift i can easily fit 33, maybe 35 with trimming so ill save my money for those instead of getting something in a 32

you have so many damn tires now it's hard to keep track... You'll be wheeling on 5.5" lift and 32's?

Easy... all four wheels are driven by individual chains. Pretty neat.

Suspension though... it appears to be hydraulic.. maybe auto leveling or something? I'd hate to think the driver has to adjust the 'arms' of each wheel as you go.

See.. something like that would just make it no fun. I love the fact that my truck has limitations, and that I can't do all the hardcore stuff. Makes it more fun when I have to work harder to figure out a way to get up and over certain rock situations.
