But once my new wheel bearings go out down the road, I'll need a new rear axle. . I either want another G80 or the zr2 8.5 to go in the back.
Go with the Zr2 axle man! I'd say it will be the perfect reason to get one.

I'm 5' 1", and I look like I'm 16, (I'm 22) and it doesn't help with the ladys.

You have probably seen these before but here is my worst one



valance went flying off

where my front tire hit the first time before it bounced and landed for good. There was no moving it except from a tractor. My buddy jumped off the bumper and sprained his ankle on the snow

Heck it could always be worse lol. Being tall ain't anything special, all everyone wants is for you to play sports for them.

Yep, a high-lift jack is on my list of things to buy, one of those would've helped us both.

I must say that people don't ask me to play sports very often.

Try being tall & skinny, I'm 6' 2" and weigh 140LBS, at work it's "he's light, send him out there" or " he'll fit down in there"
Damn high metabolism..

Thogert, I have a suggestion for you. It won't ALWAYS work but it will help keep you from getting stuck.

1. Watch your lines, get out and look before you attempt an obstacle

2. MOMENTUM, that wouldn't have happened if you were moving fast enough, I understand go slow and don't break stuff believe me, but sometimes you gotta just give her some gas.

3. NEVER GO OUT WITHOUT A SECOND VEHICLE, wouldn't have had to wait for a buddy with a tow strap if you had a strap with you and a second vehicle :P

That was me up until about a year ago, I was about that same size but now I work out all the time(I'm still skinny like a rail and very tall like, 6'4"). I have that kind of metabolism that the more I eat, the more weight I lose, hope Thogert don't mind i'm sort of hijacking his thread lol.

Oh I realize all of those points are very true. But I saw a sign that said no trespasing so I hit the breaks right at the top and bam, stuck. I would love to have a second vehicle, but my dad doesn't want to take his titan out untill he gets his lift and tires on. I don't really have any friends with 4x4s. The closest has an s10, but it's only 2wd.

Oh I don't care, it was dead there for a little while.

That's a 4-door fail. The 2-door would have gone right over.
