fast trail running/dakar (mildly/dd) ?

[h2oxtream]

Wondering if anyone does any fast trail running ? I like to camp along rivers in very remote areas and thought it would be fun to combine rocks and fast trail running with remote outdoor adventures. Any thoughts on this? Possible zzombie bug out vehicle?

I suppose it all depends on how the trails/roads are. I've only driven fast off road a couple times. The first was in a huge bird preserve in SoCal, where we could see for miles and the road was well graded....and I slowly got up to 70 mph. Similar with a buddy in Death Valley, though half that speed on rougher stuff in his Avalanche. And then locally after stoping at the grocery store. I was maybe doing 25-30, and then hit a bump and got airborne. The watermelon in the back didn't do so well.

Those were all stock, but on good graded paths. On trails with bigger rocks, the LT and stiffer suspension would be key. But a breakage with the extra stress of an unexpected hit at speed, and being by yourself out in the middle of nowhere, have a CB radio if you don't have cell coverage, and a filter to be able to get water from the stream.

runnin quick offroad

Very nice truck. What is LT up front? Light? I have ifs. Wondering if you truck has extended upper n lower control arms? Heavier springs? Different shocks? Heavier duty axle shafts? Cool set up. I'd like to see a build thread.

LT stand for long travel.

Look up Total Chaos, and if that isnt in the budget, look up Blazeland.

Fox double bypass shocks, Total chaos 4x4 kit, so it required t-100 axle swap. an along with that kit is a weld on shock hoop, bushings. etc etc.:thumb3:
