That trail is called Spring Creek, up by Idaho Springs(near Denver) CO. I have added 4:88's,and Lock-rights F/R, and the 35's off of the Ranger(Im still having coolant issues with the 302). The EX did great on that trail and I'm looking forward to the rest of the trail-run season again. I will tear into my Ranger now and find out whats going on with the coolant and get the 44 and 9" under it........:thumbsup:

looking good. what lift combo do you have?
 






man oh man I gotta fix my TTB.......figures I break it at the beginning of BII season
 






Gives me more motivation to get home and get working on my junk :D
 






I have a 3" body lift and a 4" Superrunner Superlift w/ extended arms. I have gusseted the front lift to take the abuse of the 35's. The worst part of the lift kit is it isn't as strong(gusseted) like the Skyjacker kits are. If you have access to a welder and are half way decent, it doesn't take much to beef it up though..
 






What do you guys mean by "gusseting"

I'm not very knowledgeable on lifts and all that yet....looking at doing the 6" skyjacker class II plus probably a 3" body lift....going to run 33's but it would be cool to do 35s. All I know is i've heard 35's and the TTP don't mix normally.
 






Gusseting usually refers to adding triangular pieces to the corners to give added strength. The Shyjacker kits are already gusseted so you wouldn't need to worry about it.
 






what backspacing do you run? the truck looks really good
 






Wow!, Bloodbane,you've got 1 great lookin' truck mate!! :):)
 






damn dude thats a sweet truck! MORE PICTURES!
 






Thats the main pics I have with all the work done to it, for now anyways. As far as the backspacing I don,t remember for sure, they are the 15x10 StreetLocks from American Racing. I ordered them from 4Wheel Parts a few years ago and have seemed to have held up really well, with no front wheel bearing problems. Thanks for the comments. I will add more pics to the trail run section in my photobucket page as I run the trails..........
