[dgray69]

hope this is allright to do, there will be an open poker run in bath, NY this comeing sunday,with several clubs from NY, I will be headed down about 7 am sunday morning with a group of guys from the oswego watertown area, should be alot of fun
 it will be hosted by back country 4 wheelers, and info is posted to there site. any one intrested message me, and we can all run together down there

that certainly is a large trail truck, it looks like you could fit 35's in there.  i know what you mean about killing your dd.  i have been thinking about selling my truck and getting an older ranger to play with and possibly a nice car for driving around.  well good luck with the poker run.

You got the tow rig part done now you need to get the trail rig. It don't need to be pritty you can get anything you want as long as its "jeep sized" or in the 85" to 105" WB (wheelbase) with a TW (track width) no greater than 74". FYI a jeep TJ WB is 93" TW is 70". I'll tell you on most trails you will destroy your DD its way tooooo big and most will not be able to pull you out once your stuck. I'm not trying to discurage you but your idea of getting a trail rig is a good one I would hate to see you destroy the purfect tow rig.

you know if you were just looking for any sort of trail truck there is a bronco 2 i saw on craigslist for 800.  it has a bad trans but comes with a replacement, allready has 33's and a 3 in lift(probably body)

[dgray69]

yeah i looked at it, its right here in oswego, cost more to modif it than its worth and, the tranny he has is manual, i dont feel like putting clutch pedal and everthing in, think im getting my parents old grand cher, i will mod that
