why not?
 
i figure; since no one has posted something is that part of our forum, i would throw a little story your way. i recently fell apon some really good luck. i entered my name into a drawling here in idaho. the grand prize was a $10,000 make over for your 4x4 vehicle. well to fast forward through it, i won. as my reward the off road company sponsoring the build "bucks4x4.com" hooked me up pretty well. they installed a 6'' BNDS suspension, front road armor stealth bumper, warn 9.5 winch, k&n cold air, tuneao cover, 16'' black ultra rims wrapped by 35'' cooper s/t, they re-did my gear ratio to compensate for the lift and bigger tires 4.88 gearing, and capped it off with a limited slip in the rear. ok, i'll admit i loved my truck before, and the love grew ten fold after she got all perddied up. i have always enjoyed taking my truck off road, just mountain trails, or when ever i got tired of pavement i would... turn off. but since the make over i have found my self wrapped into a communty of extreme off-roaders. so i've been out a couple times breaking in all my new toys and here is a little video of a time out.

Nice Vid..

I think if you hadn't had those two 'counterweights' hang'n off the right rear bump, the guy telling you 'it ain't gonna roll' may have been run'n from the tumbling truck ;) Looked darn close from here!! When the dog won't even ride, somethings wrong :)

Thanks for sharing....

Ha. Enough said right there.

Your friends should always be ready to be used to pull, push, rock, or even counterweight on the trails.
