    well..considering the thread for that trip has 80k views...and i did magazine articles..i think its safe to say that one is a bit famous too..

    But this trip was way more dramatic and a more interesting story.

    :( despite what you all might think...I miss the shit out of you guys. So ya kinda. Sadly at that time time and money did not make it feasible. I have gotten better in at least one of those categories...if not both for the forthcoming year!

    Idk yet. It'll make it VERY interesting. The width would be more of issue on some parts I think. But being able to back up some of them I think it'll still be do able.

    You won't be running wheel spacers with LT then correct? I suppose that would increase your turning radius, but WMS to WMS would not be much wider then (assuming you are going +2"). What LT are you going to use?

    Spacers will be going off the front for now. Won't need them.

    There are no 2+ kits for 1st gens. Only full 3.5" which is what I'm doing. The front will be 2" wider per side then it is now as I have the spacers

    Turning radius sadly does increase. My WMS will be 4" wider over all then it is now.

    Come join us Buddy. The radios were waaaay too quite this year. :p

    You do realize the focus is not on hardcode wheeling. There may be some of that but the ability to go where others are not and to take amazing photographs plays a huge role in what we do. Just sayin'
