    locker wont help you turn.

    this! i have done it! i had to fold the mirrors in, i turned around as soon as i could, with turned into a 15 point turn. :rolleyes: DCLB never could have started the to turn around. as soon as i get bumpers i’ll go down it all the way. that’s one time i wished i had a shorter truck or had an FJ. trail was rated for atv’s dirt bikes, utv’s and some how jeep, but even a jeep would have had a hard time. at one point i had my bed side 1 inch from a tree, i also have like 3 scratches, laces of damage from that trail.

    Honestly, I believe it is because the DCLB is just too long to ever be into really intense offroad. Dusy ershim actually has a sign up that recommends only short wheelbase vehicles. That is a hardcore trail, I know. I know I wouldn't recommend getting a DCLB to anyone wanting to offroad hard. I've got 35s and long travel that lifts the truck about 3", and I scrape and get high centered on stupid obstacles. I want a short bed! DCLB is just not practical for hardcore offroad.

    all depends on what you have around you and what you like.

    and i turned around before i got to much damage. nothing made me turn around i don’t have lift or any armer. after i get lift and at list front bumper i’ll go down it all the way. i hope to get slider really soon, got to sell my dirt bike first. than i’ll get sliders and a CB.
