I would highly recommend lower gears. with 33's, a locked rear, and lower gears you should be able to do the trial pretty easily. You should probably wait till february or march when the snow is gone also(may not be any right now but later most likely).
duals and a detroit with 4.88s and it was good. I kept off of the hard stuff.
id just throw in a 4.7 tcase and weld the rear, your would be rock solid and easily do the whole trail. My buddy did the whole trail with a stock ifs runner with 30" street tires and a welded rear and dual cases. not much body damage
to a certain extent right? i mean of course theres other variables but to be successful flex is one of those variables too rite?
Not exactly. It definitely helps, and to do the larger obstacles, you need it, but in reality, skill is far more important than what you are driving. Just this past MCR, we had a guy in our group that was completely stock, on 31"s, he had sliders, and I *think* a welded rear, and he did just fine. Did great actually, many people including myself suffered more damage than he did with more built rigs.
If it's the guy I'm thinking about (yota18), he had 31's, 5.29 gears, open differentials, sliders and a rear bumper. He took a strap in a few places, but if the trail wasn't so crowded I think he could have driven more without assist. If you start at Loon I'd be more concerned about body damage than not being able to make it. On the way out Cadillac Hill we kept a long and short strap handy so he wouldn't end up being the guy blocking the road, but I'm fairly sure he could have driven it out.
sliders! at the very least.
lol and at the most?
Some people do it in near stock rigs with sliders and stock bumpers.
