Most of the places you guys go, are they state run parks, private property, tresspassing, or what? Those look like some awesome trails. All of the trails in those pictures are either very very roughly taken care of state roads or private property which you pay a nominal (10 bucks per day) fee to park and ride.

Thanks for the offer on the 35’s… It is a 4 banger with 4.11’s. Without re-gearing, 35’s would render 5th gear unusable under its own power. Its a D.D. Some meaty 33’s will have to work for this one. ---

I currently have 235/70/15. I can go 75+ without a problem now. Debating on pulling the sway bar and track bar. I would think it would get sloppy though. Others beg to differ. ---
