Alright guys went out to Hidden Falls Adventure Park on sunday and had a blast! Went with my truck and my neighbors 2011 jeep sahara. Its a 3000 acre ranch full of trails and mud. It was tough to navigate through a lot of the trails with my truck being so wide and big and what not so i had me some pretty crazy tight squeezes and some close calls but i worked my way out! Did manage some rock crawling which was definitely experience but like y'all said had some trouble being so heavy. Just about pushed my truck to its limits. Busted my passenger side tail light casing, and got a bunch of scratches down the passenger side from trees, plus mud in about every damn spot imaginable. Gonna take him in for a wax and thorough washing tomorrow though and that should about clear everything up! Overall the mud holes out there were a hell of a lot of fun, and if you have the right jeep or buggie there are some crazy rock crawling trails out there! .. Im probably gonna stick to mud

That sounds pretty legit. The cleaning is the worst part . Since this thread was concerning "rock crawling," I had a question for anyone with an answer. Can you purchase "lockers" (the complete axle setup) for an F-150? If so, where can they be found?

Yes you can get lockers for these trucks. "Drop in" are the cheapest. Compete axles are big $$ and require some fab work.

Edit - post some pics! The first trail damage is always hard to swallow. but after that its no biggy
