Hopefully soon I will be at least lifted with armor, I really wanna hang out with you guys and wheel this truck but to nervous to hit some of these events stock.

Nope, no excuse. Doc took his stock truck out and did great. There are usually trails to go around the tough stuff. Plus its fun to follow stock guys to see what they leave behind...

im telling you.. trim the front bumper and you will be good to go for ROTR.. it's amazing what these trucks can do stock. You won't lose anything of significance.

Didn't a stock brand spanking new Range rover go through Rausch in the spring? If that guy can do it I think a stock DI will be fine

yup!

I haven't seen that picture, awesome!

im getting some new video equipment. so hopefully i can ramp up my video productions! going to get this crazy suction mount so i can take shots off fenders and roofs and hoods.

I have a couple more pictures of that trucktruck

Get the Go Pro camera HD, it can even shoot in 3d and you can mount it anywhere.

Don't worry about kid, its all good. whatever plastic pieces fall off you can either replace them with a new piece off of E-bay or just glue them back on. Never really 'lost' anything while running full stock except blowing a tire in Lake Christie. Oh, and then there was the bumper that came off on the last trip, but that because these crazy fuckers convinced me we were on a green trail - should have know that a rock river bed going uphill was a bad idea. At least they're telling you about the dump out trails.... I had no idea until just now. Thanks guys. Seriously, i ran totally stock through there many times, smart driving and spacial judgment are your friend. You'd be fine.

What? I thought you were backing out to go around so I went up ahead. I didn't know you were backing up to take a run at it!

I do admit it was fun following you and watch your bumper become ever looser as it hit here and there.

yea buddy!! What are you up to tomorrow? We should find some mud and try to get my truck stuck. Interested in seeing how this locker will do. I'm going to install JT's lift in the morning but can do something later on if you're down

I work Sunday-Thrusdays or I'd be down, maybe next weekend.

ah damn, next weekend is Robesonia you should come to the event.. I know I know your truck doesnt run like it should but you should come hang out at least.

Robesonia isnt all that rocky... it's more technical turns and picking lines thru the woods. you go slower than normal. it actualy would be a good event for him to drive in. good for experience. helps you get a better feel for you truck.
