    I saw it enter the frame and saw disaster coming. What did he break?

    I saw them pulling the gears out, I am not sure. I moved on with the pack and at the end kept moving. There was a pretty good size group and it split into those that were broke and working on em to those that weren't and kept going. I was in the 2nd group...

    What is the general clearance and equipment for that trail? 33" tires and up?

    I would say 33" would do it. Consider this: 2 Slightly modified XJ were going up, they pulled over let me go by. Came up about another 200 yards and turned around. I am not sure about lockers, if they are needed or not, I use mine because I have em. I am always out, I was out and about today! guess what i am saying is; "Come on out!"

    I want a trail that I can test the restrictions of what I have now, without beating it up. My truck has lots of drawbacks, but it's paid off. I want to find out if it sucks too bad to keep. I'll make it some time.

    I think that trail will test it just fine!

    There are a lot of challenging parts on that trail, you can by-pass some, you might not make it all the way around, but it will give you a good idea of your trucks capability. If you go stay to the left and by-pass the 1st trail to the right, that's were the stock one broke down.

    I don't have 33" tires though. Only 30". I might be able to get away with some stuff because of the relatively short wheel base, but not everything.

    I was eyeing some Dana 60s yesterday. Excuse to go out and thrash the 8.8/D30? I've never opened the axles but have receipts from the p.o. saying they're built/locked. Haven't yet tested them. Possibility of a run in the next few days? My stock 5 speed isn't going to last much longer behind the 350. Researching my 700r4 build now.

    Your build is going to be sweet!! Send Kilovictor a PM about the needed work on the 700r4. He just got one built, he did a lot of research and could prob recommend someone to built it for ya!
