First I've heard of it. We've been keeping an eye out for similar type events, but looks like that one would require time off.... so Maybe? maybe not?

Truthfully i'd really like to get past the last of my drivetrain upgrades before I do any serious wheeling.... Regear, lockers, and a Centerforce clutch....

Same with me just have to see how work plays out.. They are supposed to have trail rides for all levels but I haven't been to Byrds yet.. We have been to Hot Springs ORV several times.. Truthfully I was still a little freaked out my first real trip out there after upgrades but haven't had any issues going anywhere I am brave enough to attempt..

We tried Carter's off-road park in Saline county a couple weeks back, it wasn't horrible... My other vehicle is an FJ Cruiser with lots of bells and whistles, I've wheeled it pretty hard in its day. The Ozarks (High Water Mark trail), HS ORV, Barnwell TX, we've ran about every 3 diamond trail and a few 4s.

All that leaves me knowing the exact limitations of my truck as-is: Wheelbase, zero low end climbing/crawling torque, and open diffs.
I'd be all good in an automatic, but I REALLY don't want to mess around with a burned out clutch on a trail with 10 trucks behind me...

Agreed! We have ran all the 3's and 4's at Hot Springs.. Went to Carter's but all that mud in there I parked mine and rode with some friends.. lol.. Lame but mud sucks ass!
