[QUOTE="Dan_Goodwin, post: 761943, member: 4960"] I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and good new year. I picked up an open 4.10 8.8 2 weeks ago and have set it aside until I get this rig running. Myself, ibrokeit, Terryjmatthew and another feller hit a few roads in the Talladega National Forest the weekend before Christmas, the most notable being 600-1. It's a scenic gravel road / light trail that runs from Sylacauga to Talladega and then from Talladega to Mt Cheaha. [ATTACH type="full"]159808[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]159807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]159803[/ATTACH] The only real 'obstacle' we hit was this rock climb coming out of a creek crossing. Everything else was rutted out muddy roads. [ATTACH type="full"]159804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]159802[/ATTACH] I also spent a minute over the Christmas holiday working on the Jeep. I got the Motobilt bumper, Custom Splice fairlead and Diamond winch line, [S]Currie[/S] Rock Jock Anti Rock and Roadshock LED bar installed.
