Ive been left stranded with a cheapo. used it to get in, and was counting on it to get out. went home and bought a warn. If you watch the ads you can get one pretty reasonable. 4 Wheel Parts had my m8000 for $595.
I did that trail back in '99. Bueatifull place! Is the wall still the only way to the lake? It was about 1/4 mile from the lake.(I think it's at the end of what you are calling bowling ball hill)
I' had a tweaaked frame for years. It probably wont efect your wheelin.:?| nothing will line up perfectly again though. Since I dont drive mine on the street too much, I realy dont mind, But you may want to get yours looked at. Thats why we pay for insurance.
8) Half way there, way cool. Looks like july is going to be too busy for wheelin for me. The dang carpenters strike threw a big wrench in the schedule. I have the first weekend in aug planned to get back to Browns Camp. Maybe see you there.8)
Are you thinking of going full size? The components will be alot more abuse prone. As cool as it is to see carnage, when it's yours, not so much fun.:(
:D Sounds like a body lifft would be good for you. I recomend not going more than 2" because the longer bolts tend to flex a little. You may have to lengthen your t-case shifter, but thats easy.:D
