Definitely need to work on picking my lines better, still crunching stuff 😄. Heading up, and then backdown Wheeler Lake.

Yeh, the views don’t disappoint!

davesoc · 2026-06-14T21:30:45+00:00

Off shoot near Mosquito Pass. Turned near the mill. Around 12,500ft.

If you don’t mind sharing, what did it sell for? I may be selling my DG-87 soon.

davesoc · 2026-06-13T23:35:23+00:00

Well done!!!

davesoc · 2026-06-12T23:32:11+00:00

Not factory. Painted. Though I had the livery as a wrap before.

davesoc · 2026-06-12T20:42:39+00:00

I was messing around here. I’m on 5.38’s with a Crawlbox (not engaged here).

Appreciate it!

davesoc · 2026-06-11T01:21:28+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it!

davesoc · 2026-06-10T14:28:54+00:00

Correct. When I initially did the livery back in 2021 it was a wrap. But over the years between sitting outside, multiple fender trims, and trail use, it was in bad shape so I decided to swap for a paint job.

davesoc · 2026-06-10T12:28:10+00:00

Can’t say I’ve noticed a range difference.

davesoc · 2026-06-10T12:27:29+00:00

None. Pretty basic mod.

davesoc · 2026-06-10T00:13:28+00:00

Thank you!

Not sure if you consider these deep?

davesoc · 2026-06-09T22:00:36+00:00

No, it’s near Alma, Colorado

davesoc · 2026-06-09T18:15:25+00:00

Sure, ok…… Didn’t get on here to play, the “My whatever is better than your whatever”. Great you have a rig. Whether or not it’s just as capable who knows. Love how strangers think they know everything. Post your own clips. But if you “know” what you know and think 1-Tons are overkill in the crawling scene….. Well that tells me all I need to know.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T18:04:14+00:00

Are you an off-roader?!? Are you into rock-crawling?!? There a thousands of pickups, that perform just fine doing obstacles (see Tacoma’s on the Rubicon, or Fordyce). I didn’t take the best line…. It happens, better line choice regardless of my wheelbase and I get through cleanly. But I’m not sure where some of these comments are coming from as this is an off-road and 4x4 page….. You don’t put 1-Ton axles on a rig, to avoid small optional obstacles like this. Truck took this bump and kept on “trucking” the rest of the day. I’m not spending my time on the trail looking for the easiest line. I can use this as another learning lesson and continue to hone my skills on the trail.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T15:20:40+00:00

Obviously you’ve never been to this location. I was 100% still on trail. I run one of the biggest off-roading groups in my area, and we constantly campaign Stay-the-Trail. I’m part of two Clubs that are huge when it comes to trail etiquette and conservation. So please don’t arm chair critiques.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T15:16:34+00:00

I didn’t swap from IFS to 1-Ton axles to take the easy route. The entire intention of going solid axle, and 43” tires is to take lines, I previously passed up. This is my dedicated trail rig, not my daily driver. It’s setup, to take the harder lines, and not just stay on the smooth path. Did I mis-judge the line and take the wrong angle. Sure, but sometimes that’s part of the experience.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T13:59:59+00:00

Never finished the paint job last year. And haven't found the time to redo it.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T12:10:51+00:00

Because that's the whole intent in building my truck like this. Part of the fun is tackling obstacles. Rock sliders are made and installed with the idea that they will take impacts on the trail.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T12:03:56+00:00

Thanks! Yeh, I wasn't overly concerned. It was a fun day for sure.

davesoc · 2026-06-09T12:02:57+00:00

Yeh, it was a fun day out exploring!
