awesome off road.

one thing is that this machine pulls like a monster. the other is it's off road capabilities. i wish it had a locking front and rear differential, (maybe soon), otherwise it does awesome, specially when i air down to 15 lbs. the low gear in the trans and the transfer case are nasty!!!!!!!! i crawled down a quarter mile of the roughest terrain i've ever encountered in my off roading lifetime and the beast just grabbed the earth by the *****!!!!!!!!!!!! diesel, low gears, air downed tires, you are good to go. (can't wait for my lockers!).
