Should be. I'm like 90% right now. Depends on if I get my trans/ diffs/ TC fluids changed (as they desperately need to be done) and my brake pads. I don't see any issues as to why I wouldn't.

I have a HAM and a CB. I'm hoping everyone has one or the other. You?

A multitude of reasons compounded upon me last night that dropped me from 90% to 0%.
1. Unfortunately my DD crapped out last night, so I will be dealing with that tonight, instead of changing my fluids like i had planned. Starter issue, not sure if it's the Bendix or what.
2. My dog sitter canceled.
Last thing I need is to break something in AL when my DD is down and have no way to get to/from work. :-/
:-( Looks like I'll have to skip this one and catch the next one.
That stinks. I just ended up giving my DD to my dad because he sold his truck so hopefully I keep my truck in running shape this weekend (not to mention the 10 hour drive home I need it for). Don't know what to expect on this trail especially in wet conditions but hopefully I can crawl through obstacles and not bash it too bad. Either way, I'll probably have a great time - wish you coulda made it.

Trust me... me too. Dealing with issues on my "supposed ot be reliable DD" is not my idea of a great time.
4 rigs will probably be more than enough potential for problems. I'm ready, pretty much finished up loading up besides getting foodstuff and water. Got my spare today, rotated tires and greased driveline. Meeting @ work 1st thing tomorrow then gonna hit the road. Gonna try to be about an hour and a half away before we stop for the night.

You guys might get some snow tonight. Expecting about an inch here in Spring Hill just NW of where I assume you are. Stay warm!

We're all ok, just ended up being on a very difficult trail with sleet, rain and snow inhibiting our ascent out of the creek basin. Honestly we'd probably have been fine if the weather hadn't turned the Alabama (and Tennessee) clay to goo. But it did so we spent 6 plus hours winching. here's a pic when we started. A group called the Rocket City Rock Crawlers was on the trail picking up trash.
Truth be told, it was good to see what my rig could do. I think everybody got to see what their trucks were capable (and not capable) of. The guys that were on our group were excellent and we had good teamwork. We all made it out with no injuries to my knowledge, and everybody's truck drove off under its own power.
I'll keep you all posted if I discover anything on my 9-10 hour drive home today.
Thanks JMY24 for putting this together. It was a great time, in a beautiful area with great terrain.
