He bought it about 6 months ago and they have really worked on it. They moved the front axle foward about 8 inches and put longer leaf springs on it. He also modified the transfer case. He can actually take his foot off the gas and it will crawl up some things on it's own. it has a full cage, which we almost needed yesterday. That winch is a 1500 lb Warn Winch off a Suburban. I almost had him into trying to pull it up in a tree........i know that winch will do it on that truck.
The trails are in Gardendale, AL, just north of Birmingham they are maintained byt C.A.O.S. http://www.caos4x4.com/

It was a great ride. There was another group that started out with us, but they took some easier trails. The way this area is laid out is pretty cool. There are always bypasses to some of the more techinical sections. I had an '83 SR5 with 38" Super Swampers on it years ago, and would have still be intimidated by some of the stuff they were doing. But then again, where I would go trail riding was very flat and mostly swampy. There were no rocks at all, so that was interesting doing some crawling.

You and Momo

Rome was not built in a day. When I get some sliders...I'll be there, as I know right where all those trails are as I used to live in Gardendale for two years. And when I do get some sliders, you had just better get out of my way you street queens!

Oh yeah!
I would love to be out there with those guys! Even if they did give me a hard time! My next door neighbor with a 85 Toy PU with 44s came over a couple Sundays ago and wanted me to go out and "play" with him. I was busy at the time, and quite tempted to go anyway, but I'm glad I didn't. I don't want to tear something up before I get some sliders on and just have to spend more money and postpone getting my ARB, roof rack, winch, etc.
I will probably join CAOS when I get my rig like I want it, at least so it is trailworthy. Only a few more things to do...

I'm just giving you a hard time. I know your truck is more than trail worthy. There were just a couple of times out there that we slammed down on the sliders, but then again, not everybody was taking the same lines. You should hook up with them for a ride. They are all a bunch of good guys.
