    Frank needs to mind his bolts if he wants attention. I'm not sure is positive reinforcement works for vehicles but if there was ever a "chaotic good" spirit trapped in a vehicle it is in Frank.

    Taylor Pass? I've heard it's pretty gnarly, but other than that, don't know much about the trails in that area. Never been to Crested Butte or Aspen, been meaning to though.

    After hearing about all of Frank's issues I'm glad I went solid axle over LT.

    Can't go as fast over rough terrain though, at least comfortably lol.

    My truck isnt as bad but the paint job is shot from all the pin stripes. Im at about a 10fter. Ive always been curious how the LT does in the rocks and flexy stuff. Obviously it is great for high speed.

    Nah lt hasn't caused me issues....other then allowing me to beat the crap out of him more than I should..

    It's still the oem LBJ and the bolts for me. Gonna fix that though.


    I can't say I've done anything hardcore crawling. Not yet. But what I have done it's great. Flexes very well. Though I attribute franks comfort in the rocks to that but also some how the very very flexy rear end....which I still don't know how it works as it does but somehow..

    Gotcha. I have a ton of flex in my rear suspension and it definitely makes up for the lack there of in the front. It sounds fun as hell to have the travel in both and be able to haul ass and keep your tires on the ground in the rocks. Hope you get him where you want it sooner than later :thumbsup:
