Lots of SB wheeling but does anyone wheel their DCLB?

    Got my first truck about a month ago and really love it. 2016 DCLB SR5. I'm anxious to get it muddy and already have it lifted with some Cepek 285s which should handle what I'm willing to do with it since its also my daily driver. I'm sure my next tires will be 33's if not more (its just the natural progression of things I think). I'm coming off a couple decades of driving and wheeling jeeps so this is truck thing is a whole new world for me. My question is how difficult is it to wheel the longer wheelbase and small turning radius of the the DCLB? I'd especially love to hear from folks out my way where we don't have overland trails and everything is tight and muddy. Pics and video always enjoyed if you have em!

    Where are you at? I wheel mine on tight rocky, muddy trails at least omce a month. Our limos are qyite capable offroad, and the wheelbase can help out on hill climbs. The SB trucks do not have that much of an advantage except in very specific situations. I have been able to put my truck almost everywhere the SB trucks can go.

    I'm in NE Ohio so sounds like similar terrain. Great to hear your feedback so thanks. I've actually been wondering if I should head to the dealer for a swap so i guess I need some talking down from the ledge!

    All depends on what you want to do with the truck. For an expo build, DCLB is the best IMO. And even the SBs are never going to be an optimum rock rig.
