haha! i know. i didnt get any actions shots all i had was my phone for pics, and where we were was so swampy, it was just everyone getting stuck.

the one pic where the white truck was stuck was were we first entered the muck off the trail

that field is a swamp underneath and if you broke thru the grass, you were burried to your diffs, with no bottom!

i wish i got pics of the f250 it barely get going again after stopping.. 50ft high roosts off all 4 tires trying to get back to regular ground!!...EGTs were in melt down mode the hole time lol

yz85rider2002:

truck was awsome with the gears, had no trouble spinning them in the mud!

i never went through any mud with the stock gears, but i wouldnt want ANY less power than what i have now with the gears!

Eaton E-Locker in the front and Eaton (Detroit) Tru-Trac in the rear.

No one currently makes and Electronically selectable locker for the 9.75" rear end so the tru trac is the next best thing.

Good deal, I am going with a similar setup due to the fact of what you mentioned for the rear and I have been told time time again that no lockers are made/available for our factory rearends. I am thinking of going with the Auburn Ected Locker in front and like you, the Detroit Tru-Trac in the rear.
