Thanks BeBe, I always have a great time with people like you that give 100%.

You're absolutely right about my lines though, my lines are mostly restricted by width, I can tilt pretty far (up to 47*), and my ground clearance is 25" down the center. By winter, I should have a 90* approach angle, 80* departure angle, front and rear 12000# winches, and plenty of lighting. My downfall is the weight of my truck at 8000# and the 7 feet of width.

I would still love to do the trail with a nice mix of dedicated wheelers, it makes it interesting!

At the 'Con, I think the weight would help. I could be wrong, but those rocks move, your weight might hold them in place

Welllllll...since you asked

I plan on taking the stock 12000# military Warn off the front of my truck, (since it adds 6 inches, 200# of front weight, and steals 28* of approach angle) replacing it with an E12000 Mile Marker tucked in between the framerails effectively giving me 90* up front with my 41" IROK's. Then, I am removing the auxiliary fuel tank in the rear, making brackets to mount the factory winch in its place, lifting the rear bumber 2 inches, and cutting a Hawse slot in the bumper for the winch line. This should net me an 80*+/- departure angle.

For the steering, I am planning to install a Rock Ram setup, probably an AGR or PSC setup to help with the steering issues that way big tires present, and if I have time...a rear steering setup.

It's an ambitious project schedule but then I'm done....I promise...really, no more mods...

Is it ever really 'over'?

She's looking to buy her own...which means I'll have to do this twice, no doubt! She's tired of me hogging all the 'wheel' time. Heheheh

I would have no problem with you taking a test obstacle, you've proven you're worthy in my eyes.
