    We're getting in Thursday, so I dunno what's happening.

    They will search coolers going into the trails at AOAA, no alcohol allowed. I'm at site 145, throw it in my bed for the day! (Or just the beers if you want the cooler in the trails).

    I've never had any problems with people getting into my stuff leaving it unattended at the campsite tbh.

    If you're really worried you can throw your cooler in my camper for the day and I'll lock it up.

    If my friend with the smoker shows he can kill a 30pack himself.

    Good call, I very much like supporting local.

    I appreciate it. I don't think it's a super huge risk, but I've been on the crap sode of some less than stellar luck lately with mischief and vandalism, so I don't want to keep the streak lol.

    When I went 2 years ago, I only had a stock 2016 offroad. To be fair, it had some tires and a 1inch spacer from the previous owner but that was it. I made it through fine so you shpuld be good. Hell, we even had someone hit it with a stock landcruiser, I think, from the early aughts.

    I took this truck there with 200 miles on it..

    Granted with money and favors I had basically full armor and a complete suspension lift.

    Armor up, you have time. I went bone stock on greens/blues the 1st time and it was a bit of a mistake, some very minor damage that the armor would have stopped plus the peace of mind.

    Personally I'd recommend bare minimum IFS skid and sliders.

    So far I've run Pelfreybilt and Mobtown stuff so I'm not really a good judge. IFS are pretty much all the same, sliders have some variation. I do definitely recommend steel IFS skid, I've got big fuckin dents in mine.

    Seconding steel, you won't regret it when you drop the weight of the truck off a ledge on a rock you didn't see and the skid doesn't gouge around it haha

    Sounds like it will be a good time. Let's hope I have my stuff together by then.
