went to our local ORV park on sunday. come to find out it was basically a motorcycle and 4 wheeler place not for trucks or suvs there wasnt anyone over there so i said screw it and went on some "trails" anyways heres some pics

Have to watch out coming down this one or you will go for a swim

Just a quick lil up and down 4lo works good for these

front pointing down (buddy is ducking holding brake down)

the one i couldnt get up ... i even had trouble walking down from the top to take the next pics it was kind of steep ... but started spinnin em about 20ft from the top.

these are the pics of where i started spinning out ... the first one is of where the front left tire started spinning and the second one is were the left rear started spinning ...... damn open differential :angry: :angry:

This is how far I was from the top .

Great views of the valley from up top

Coming back down from the ridge.

Well hope the pics are good and hope everyone dont mind all of them .

later

Looks like you had fun, i wonder how much better you would have done with some more aggressive tread.

What would you suggest???

I currently have 235/85/16 toyo M-55s on it.

They have been a great tire so far.

I drive on gravel roads over 80% of the time and I have about 20,000 miles on these tires since I got them inn october of 01 and they still have over half the tread left.

Thats more than I can say for my last set of tires wildcat a/ts

Wow, if you drive over 80% offroad, id get something more like mud terrains or PJ dirt grips, or anything like that.

Of course they wont last you like your current tires are lasting you and if money's an issue, then your better off sticking with what you have.

Another choice would be to look for a better Limited Slip unit or even a locker (detroit) for your rear end.

Your truck looks good, but maybe even a body lift for some 285 or 305's

Not really 80 % off road the roads are county roads unpaved .. they chew up tires fast

I have been thinking about a locker but then when I start to think I look at the cost and my mind changes to another subject ???

But who knows lets find out how good these eaton e-lockers are then maybe I will splurge a little bit
