    I will be camping in Gatlinburg on the 17th. We may cross paths!

        Installing high clearance radius arms. Rear bumper will need to be clearance for this to work with full suspension travel.

          Cage is .120 wall in critical areas and .090 in remaining areas. Gussets double as grab handles and anchor points. Tied into bumpers as well as the front and rear frame. This will improve the factory cage structure and integrity by more than double.

          One big dilemma is weather or not to build the front diff before it blows. It will be easier to get to with the winch out. This entails a stronger billet bearing cage from 7075 grade aluminum, roll pin upgraded from .093 to .125 hardened dowel, hardened toner ring and spring tuned. Not sure yet.

            Build the diff now. With that much power and bigger tires, it will die. Plus, I've seen the way you drive.

                There is a volunteer work day on 3/25 for the new Hollerwood Park.
                I was thinking about going to the volunteer day but I don't really know if I have the time or the spare money right now to give up at day.

                But it would be a great way to meet the folks involved with the park and get definite answers on good sxs parking.



                I will go ahead and create a thread about a side by side ride in Slade that way we can move this discussion over there
