One particular incident had to do with my blazer, a buddies Jeep (with 33's) and a trail that traversed a sandy *** hill. His Jeep couldn't even make it halfway up, while my blazer easily made it up to the top with almost no wheelspin at all in 4HI. I was a firm believer in the trucks after that, they seem to have a nearly magical way of getting in and out of spots it seems they shouldn't be able to.

Oh man I know what you mean. My friends trucks just slip and slide all over the place in the snow, and mine stays on a good straight path through just about anything, and it can roll with the punches too. When we got back down to the bottom of the hill the one night, I started to do donuts around my one friend and he got pissed, haha he has to have the best of everything, and he was pissed b/c he knew my Blazer was better than both of the trucks there that night (both Scottsdales)

Yeah, they go through anything no problem, its like they want to be driven through the stuff!

And yeah Benedict1337, just let me know what happens for sure. If I'm not working we'll hook up and go out in the gaps and try some trails!
