    Theres a lot :( Coilovers took awhile to get here and since I ended up ordering the rear end for it we're going to be able to mount the trailing arms slightly wider than if I were mounting off the OEM housing which effects upper shock mount location. We had thrown the idea around of getting the truck drivable off the OEM housing but after mock up and several discussions we decided that it will be better in the long run to hold off building mounts until the hosing arrives. Truck will be back to me before the trip for reassembly of the interior, dash, dynamat, plumbing the fuel cell, rear center console, headliner, some aluminum work and possibly this weird whistle thingy on the motor... Then it will go back once the housing arrives for final assembly. I'm really trying to not rush this project, first trip I know I will 100% be at with it ready to go will be huckfest in August.

    Fawdgge, dude. lol If I attempt Helldorado, I don't think my rig will sell at all with the body (roll) damage I'd probably get! :eek:



    maybe if you promise to pull me out when I run out of spare cv axles, drive shafts, and tre's! lol

    You won't roll in Helldorado. It's not a rollover risk trail (mostly). Only one real spot that is a high risk for body damage too, but not so bad since you're bobbed and doved.

    Hmmm the main spot I was thinking roll over is the backside of the gatekeeper where most rigs put there left front tire on that big boulder and flex out like crazy! Seems like my IFS would throw me to the right... Although, from the videos it kinda looks like I might be able to miss that boulder and go to the right of it... :notsure:


    hum... If I can find a cheap winch, I'll think about attempting it.

    Just take the bypass at the gatekeeper and you won't need a winch if there's someone else there with one. Just have someone park at the top of the exit and pull you up.
