    It can get hairy down past sand dam. The cool part is that it is pretty calm through the canyon but has some tough kick offs. But if you decide to do the take off you just ride the ridge and parallel the canyon. So the group can stay together. There is another spot in the dunes that has a cool little 200 yd run. Depending on the sand and how well I remember how to get there (lol) you can make it in 2wd. Plus you have the mudhills. You can flex for days and its just dirt worse case.

    Sounds good :thumbsup:

    I'm sure @Prayn4surf and @Titus94 will be game too.

    You keep making these jokes yet, you've never recovered me :boink:

    Hell, I haven't needed any recoveries, tugs, winches, nothing in this truck... yet.

    Offroading is like a trip to Thailand. Without an occasional rub and a tug it was probably boring.

    I get it though, i'm way behind on getting all stuff cleaned and greased. Plus i really need to get my front shocks sent in for a rebuild, my LF looks like its starting to leak past the shaft seal.

    I saw a 4.88 3rd with the factory air locker for 850 awhile back. I ran limited slips and now have a tru trac. I like it. Its not for the extreme crawler but it works really well for a LSD and price.
