Is it modified? If not there may be some areas that will be quite difficult. But there are bypasses. The spot where she may have the most trouble will be going up the mountain pass. I will try to post a pic of the spot I am talking about.  |

If that is the same spot I think it is.... you guys better send up the winch-equipped rigs first  I'll admit it. I couldn't get my Jeep up that part without a little tug from Billy's Rubi ;D  But, you can go around that section. The actual road is the bypass. Maybe someone should check that last Exit hill for ice before you guys go over the pass this time  |

Don't listen to Mike, he just wanted to show a gradutidous shot of his long arm suspension and 35's!! hehe!!
A ram should not have too many issues, but we will also be visiting some terrain that we did not go on before. But from what I know, most all obsticals have a "go around"

Thanks for the info. He's not gonna go..instead he's gonna ride shotgun in Chris' jeep.
I told him that his ego would be shot, and he would be stoping at the first Jeep dealer to trade in his Ram. Ok, I didn't but it would have been funny if I did. (Steve, can you look that up in your book of funny things and check to see if that is actually funny?)

I just want to point out that towing a vehicle in reverse could cause a good amount of damage to teh vehcile doing the towing. Gears are generally cut on an angle and when moving in reverse are not as strong. and This could cause stripped gears. which would not be fun Unless of coarse you are looking for a reason to re-gear paul |

HELL NO!  I'm a Jeep gril...well..if ya take the Chevy out of me. A friend of a friend...ahhh if that makes sence. But he's riding with the friend.. Paul...Hmm..that's good to know because I town in reverse all the time...but, I wonder how much wear it actually causes. Because certinally not one time isn't gonna ruin yer gears...(I need a reason to rid myself of the 307s) |

I will try to post a pic of the spot I am talking about. It is not all about the rig, I made it up in my stock Rubi on the first try, as did some (almost) stock TJ's with open diffs, driving ability plays a good role, knowing what path to take, and watchin your spotter, I know of a heavily modified Rubicon that did not make it up on the first try but I forget who that was... |

Yeah and I think that was a pic of it there. You are right about the line is everything, but as a Ram owner myself the truck is a lot wider than the jeep and without some modification I just wasn't sure if it could make it past some of the rocks without some difficulty.
It really sucks that I was not able to make it this past weekend. I know that y'all had a blast. I will be there at Paragon! The only day in the month that I can't make is the 17th and of course that is when we have the trip scheduled, so I will only be able to make it on the 18th but sure it will be a blast!
