Yesterday just took my first off road trip in my Bronco. It was around Foresthill, CA. Nothing really crazy, but lots of fun.

Thanks, ya I bet my coworker wishes he never sold me this one either. It was all stock when I bought it, so I lifted it and threw on some 35's plus all new fluids and full tune up

We ran plenty of rocks, fallen trees, burms, holes, hills etc. Makes me glad I went with the 6" lift instead of the 4". No rub& only bottomed out once on the bottom of the body. I like my truck to be in good cosmetic shape. Previous to me owning it it hasnt seen much off road since it was not lifted and had 31's a/t's that were nearly bald.

Is this just for trips or a dd? I was going to say just weld the carrier if its trail only/mostly...it'll handle better then a locker with its short wheelbase and is practically free. But, if you have a 8.8 rear don't bother, since its c clip axles....
