Would get atleast a 3 inch suspension lift for that because if you hit a rock in something important then boom yo just ****** up and you gotta pay to get it towed out there and then to get towed to home plus repair bill and it kicks u in the ass later. Nice hoe tho. Is that a cv antenna? Looks weird

as long as you don't flex the front end up to any steep angles or drag over to much you shouldn't have to many problems. a lift of any kind would help you out though.

Sorry guys, I must not have my message thingy setup right. I wandered off and didn't check the thread.

Yes, the CB antenna is mounted through a hole in the bumper. It is just outboard of when the door strap stops the door.

That area is beautiful and worth a visit. Some of it is like MOAB with a variety of terrain. It is all public access. Google Bangs Canyon.

I have thought about a lift. But at this point I'm balancing the compromises and consequences. For any amount of lift, you can find an obstacle that is too big right up to the point that you're driving a rock buggy that isn't road worthy. In many circumstances the truck is already too tall, so I'm aiming for capability without significant height increases.

My goal with the truck is to set it up to be able to use "roads" and "trails" that are generally rated as "passable with a high clearance four wheel drive". The next day we drove the Alpine Loop and were well prepared for that trip.

Then at the end of the week we set the cruise control headed home and still got up to 17 MPG and a quiet comfortable ride.

I did discover my right front suspension bumper was blown out when I got the right front tire into the fender opening a bit and tweaked the sheet metal. I have since fixed that and learned a great deal about the function of that suspension component.

Now to find the settings section... :)

what kind of brushgaurd is that on it?

It is a "Go Rhino!" product. Cost about $500.00. I haven't found a proper bumper I like yet, so this will preserve the front plastic somewhat.
