    thanks guys.... its really nice to have a locker from the factory. and ive been looking into an ox-locker for the front

    its also really nice to have 4 doors... probably my favorite thing about having a bigger vehicle.

    it did really well on sunday, we spent 8 hours on the trail. me and one other guy didnt get stuck out of 10 rigs (the other 8 people had 37"+ tires and they all had to be winched out of piles of snow) definately gonna be hard to get used to the clutch though. definately burned it up a few times on sunday

    Hey Jack, it's really coming along! You should look into running the Spring Creek trail outside of Georgetown after the thaw. http://www.fsjbrutus.com/jeep/SpringCreek/scindex.html

    It's a really fun trail with a rock garden at the top of it. It will totally test your Toy... if it seems to be too much to handle you can just turn around.

    haha thats hillarious Justin. I actually am pretty good friends with that guy, i helped him move around and hold up a bunch of those parts on that runner.

    i used to visit his shop on a daily basis my last year of college. that thing is a BEAST!!!! he has about $20k in just suspension upgrades (he was telling me that his front solid 'diamond axle' is almost 10k by itself)

    I have talked to him a lot about what and how to do my 4runner. and actually trailgear finally came out with a decent SAS for 3rd gen runners... and not too bad at $2500 for the whole set. More than likely it will remain ifs for a while though.

    I may be looking into more suspension lift and longer travel links for the rear this summer
