07 Gmc Nbs 5.3 Z71 Offroading?

Well, Saturday night I went for a ride, well. Off went the stabletrack. We started this off by going trough a field that had been turned over for Sweet potatoe's. Sharp 90° turn to left and one to the right.

Ass end slides PERFECT! and there is plenty steering lock in the front to correct this. Then we decided a donout, well, works GREAT, so after going around twice we figured, hell, lets go the other way. Away we went perfect.

All these stunts were performed on private property, by a non Professional but we had fun.

OH, and bouncing around grassy fields with a little dew on the grass made for some fun sliding.

and a crew cab is perfect size for 4 adults with safey belts tightned down.

I really love my truck!

I've not had a chance to play offroad my '06 since last year. We were in a big muddy pasture last year and I found that donuts were hindered when the diff lock kicked in. Was wondering if that was hard on the diff lock so only tried a couple times. Really couldn't do much because the field was so muddy by the time our event was over (it rained like heck) that if I put it in 2 wheel drive and let off the brake it would just sit there and spin. To get going I had to lock in 4wd and then take it out once I got momentum built up. Yeah that was a fun weekend, not...

I don't play much anymore because I am afraid of braking something. I depend on the truck heavily so I'm a bit of a chicken. Maybe one day I'll have one I can use for work and one for play. But then I'd have to find someone else's fields to tear up though :-)

Sounds like you had some fun. Good to hear the new ones still play good, and that you can turn the electronics off.
