I hope so too! I am pretty confident it will! Mainly because I know I have FTE to back me up! You'll have to venture up here and check it out sometime! Do you have a truck to wheel? My 4x4 club goes down to IL once in a while to "the cliffs." Do you know what that is? I have never gone down there so I have no idea, also in October we go to BADLANDS in Attica, you should try and join us!

the cliffs is in marseilles il about 40 miles from me, and i haven't been out there because they have a wheelbase limit and you can't have tires bigger than 40''s. right now my f350 has 38's, but i think the longest you can take out there is a shortbed pickup. lots of tight tree's in illinois. they are more geared towards atv's and jeeps. i do believe they have a muddy field that doesn't have a wheelbase limit, but that isn't worth the time and money if thats all you can do. i haven't actually wheeled in awhile. everything is conservation land now, big tresspassing fines. my ex gf knows some other marseilles guys that have some wheeling property, but i don't know them that well. depending on how things go, i might have to get a hold of you and your club, but i haven't been working in awhile so money is tight and i'm short on fun funds. you might want to check out hank's 4x4 jamboree. its about the same drive as marseilles, it's in august i believe. straight shot down I39 for you.

Cool. I'll check out the other jamboree too. I heard the cliffs was maybe not full-size friendly thats partly why i havent been there. I would still like to make it down there. This truck has the wheelbase thing handled. If nothing else if we head down there just meet us there and jump in the "bronco" with me.

sounds good, but like i said the trees are tight and the bronco has relly good sheet metal. but if it is just a wheeling rig, then i guess dents and scrapes don't matter. let me know when you guys are coming down and i'll try to work something out, hell i might even be able to get some guys to come along. i have a few friends with hopped up rangers and short bed f150's that go out there quite often
