35"s, at least one locker, loose the bed, and really good rockers/skids/bumpers/tow points - you should do fine at oakridge (if you drive smart - maybe Candice will drive).
The dude in the extracab dodge we took out this year did pretty well - his only real damage was passenger quarterpannel and tail light.

Josh, I guess since you could only move the pull sled a foot with the dually you have moved onto another project. Your almost changing projects as often as Fromme. For your next project I think you should remove the front tires put skies in their place, go to WV when it snows and give that a try. Might need some chains on those back tires? But if you've made up your mind, maybe we can sell tickets at the Annual to watch you bounce off trees. Didn't we have another Josh in the club with a black Dodge that did the same thing? ? Jesse

You don't need to build a flat bed - you just need to remove the stock bed (if it's not there you can't damage it) - after the weekend, you can put it back on if you want.

You will do fine at Oak Ridge if: 1. You listen to your spotter, and 2. You ask for a spotter in those situations that appear questionable.
Many of the Oak Ridge trails were built using full size trucks as templates, so there is no reason you shouldn't be able to drive them now.

Does that mean after we make them wide enough to get a jeep through again?

So what will be the weak link on the diesel? Drive shaft or tranny? I think the 1500 should be a truggy.
