Offroading trip
I have to say I was extremely satisfied at how my truck did. i didn't think a 7500# could do some of the stuff i did. Granted, i didn't do any rock trails. I like my fenders the way the are. my the ole girl kicked *** on the flats and hills. this was to Tuttle Creek ORV park in Kansas

Looks like a heap of fun! Thanks for posting!
I was bitten by the off-road bug several years ago. Even been to Moab a couple times. I can tell you right now, an 8000lb, 21 foot long diesel truck with stock suspension and tires does NOT make a good rock-crawler! Took me nearly 4-hours to cover a 10-mile "moderate" trail. Never thought 4-low, granny gear and 4.10's would ever be too fast! I made it to the other end with no damage (except a mild trail-side pin stripe) and a huge grin on my face.
It inspired me to start a slightly more appropriate project. A rusty old '83 S-10 with full-width axles (dana 44 front - dana 60 rear), 37" IROCKS and a 4BT Cummins. Someday I'll get-er-done!
