I credit this to an excellent spotter vehicle (Thanks Joe!) and patience. I think it really helped that I did all the red trails late friday night/early saturday morning BEFORE they were dug out. Good AT or MT tires are a MUST if you are at all serious about wheeling. My new BFG TracEdges were AWESOME. I had wanted to get some diff guards and HD cross/track rods before the event but I ran out of time and money. Now I think the first protection I need is a gas tank skid. The arse end of my truck took a beating! Any good suggestions? I wasn't able to find any Jate rings so I got really lucky that I didn't get stuck since I had no front recovery points. I almost bought a set of those nice TerrainMaster jacking/recovery plates for $75 each but AB was unable to process credit cards. A pintle hook sticks out waaay to far. Get a warn instead. Good people, good trucks, and good trails make for a great weekend! -Eric   Andy Nichols (Lrcb40) Posted on Saturday, November 02, 2002 - 06:46 am:    Hey Eric: Where'd you get the Trac Edges? I want some as I use my RRC for highway and offroad, but don't want the hassle of two sets of tires/wheels. I have Terrain Master sliders and a bumper. They're good. The folks were very helpful and I paid way less to ship them from England. The parts were a bit 'dinged up' but, hey, thats what they're for!!

I got them for $50 each! So ask the sale person what they have hiding in the back! Thanks for the info on importing Terrrain MAster goods.
