    how does that work out for you?

    all off road vids I see are short beds, I'd like to see how a long bed wheelbase fairs out.

    Too many to list now.
    I just went today in mine, did everything that my buddy with a 3" lift did in my stock setup. DCLB can wheel with the rest of them, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.:D

    I have seen a few dclb wheeling in some pretty rough stuff, they do great! As long as the driver is patient and knows where his truck is, and having a good spotter Def helps!

    I recently had my 2012 DCLB out in SE Utah and did some fourwheeling (yes all the way from Maryland). I did scrape a little when cresting very steep hills, but absolutely no damage. Just pick your line and go as slow as the terrain dictates as always.
