    2004 F-350...uh lots of motor work to go fast...er. Way to much to list. 2001: 3" leveling kit, ARB bumper, lightforce 240 blitz, 35" KM2s. SOLD 2008: OME 886s 90000 with dakars, LR UCAs, 5% tint, Satashi. SOLD 2015: Flooded and Gone
    sorry been at work since 4 then trying to get phone fixed so i just got home from dinner and still no working phone. a stock truck will be fine. there are 2 creek crossings and a creek ride that takes you to a spot to hang in the water. some 2wd friendly but rest is 4wd or locker. my dads address is 338 bedford avenue, birmingham alabama 35226. i plan on being up early like 6 so i can start a little on fitting 35s. id recommend bringing a towel incase its muddy at some places. nice riding, if you got a gun and want to shoot a little lemme know cause there is a place where you can shoot. EDIT my cell wont be back up till tomorrow after 4 hopefully. ill try to stay on my old phones wifi and get online.

    travhale, if i get my 35s under my truck before we go riding...wait to you have a tacoma? or a 6x5.5 lug pattern? if so and i get my 35s under before we go riding you can put my 265/75/16 under yours.
    EDIT: this is the easiest way for the description of the terrain...my step moms 4x4 sportrac stock made it across the creeks and most of the other parts of the riding. her truck sits as low as a tacoma base 2wd single cab. you know the little tacoma that ride awound bone stock manual everything and ride 3" inches from the ground??

    Thanks for the offer. I drive a Nissan Frontier pro4x it's stock tires are 265/75/16 BFG Rugged trials--I think they will be fine give your description. Once they die I'll probly ger duratracks. Do you think the water on the creek crossing will be axel deep?

    i think you will be okay with those. if you have second thoughts and my 35s fit comfortably for me we can mount mine on yours i know theyll fit yours cause you have same bolt pattern. well i know the 02-04s have the same bolt pattern as tacomas. depends on if it rains or not. as for axle in the water maybe in one spot but thats if you go that path. i think my axle caught one little rock but i went in the deeper water. we will most likely go in thru leeds because its closer that way and it skips the main creek crossing. if we go in thru trussville you have to cross the creek so we will go in thru leeds. then if you feel comfy about crossing it for fun you can.

    I'll have to try to swing by a meet when Christina and I are down to see her parents. Stoney lonesome!

    But really, Justin, have you not done the DTRL-disable mod yet? Because it is stupid easy. I feel like a dumbass for not bothering with it until my lenses started melting given how easy it was.
