    As for you being able to do some of the extreme trails, yes and no. You will need a damn good spotter and skids for some of them, others not so much. I am leveled in a 2005 4Runner and I was dragging ass the whole time up there. Dragging ass=rear chunk. I had a major issue with tire size because they werent tall enough to get the rear diff off the ground but tall enough to ride out there comfortably. Ask brian about getting me around some of the ruts and rocks. Luckily I have sliders so they protected my body panels just fine.


    Brian, where is the video from the trip me you and justin went on?

    Extreme at stoney lonesome is just weird. They are balls ass hard as in you won't be able to do it or it has one really hard spot, usually the entrance and then it meets up with some other easy trail.

    What kind of gap do you have between the bumper and fenders and front assembly? The angle of those pics makes it a little hard to tell.

    I would personally get some holes in there. This is alabama and the temperatures do get high.

    It only directly under the fender flares, and there is not much gap there (1/8" or so) i dont off road alot, but if anything happens the plastic clips will break

    It comes in at just over 80lbs by my calculations. I wound up going with 3/16 for the skid, so 3/16 all the way around. 27lbs skid 9 lbs angle and 48 c channel. Give or take.
