Budget Off Road Rig

So today me and a friend went out to some potential mud spots we found a couple days back. Unfortunately, we found out from the locals that either spot would either get our vehicles confiscated by Federal Wildlife management or a greeting from the police. So no mud today. However, we did find a trail through the woods that we're going to try expanding on. It was under a foot or two of water from all the rain lately so we just took my friends ATV back there to get a good look.
Other than that, we just tested the winch at home. It pulls the truck without a problem.

I probably could've made it through this because it was hard mud with 2-3 feet of water on top. I just didn't want to take any chances with the water, mainly because I didn't know how deep it would get. Couldn't have gone far though because the trail got a little narrow, which is why we want to go clear out a new trail for full sizes

Yeah man that sounds awesome!

I'd really like to have one, it's just that I've been debating getting a small spindle lift and locker, or saving the money for the eventual solid axle, which would solve the 2wd problem. The lift and locker might cost around $750 if I went with the Rough Country spindle lift. That's $750 I could put towards that Dana 44 in the future. It's a hard decision, economically. If I can find a cheap locker, I'll jump on it though.
