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'?

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