Re: Beelzeburb, The Story More Than a Decade in the Making

Nope, don't take mine out on the icy roads here. They use salt on them and it took me forever to fix mine up and paint it. Not going to start over again in a few years. As long as you know how to drive in those conditions, it shouldn't be a problem. And it is just temporary. Kind of like owning a 1 ton dually. Most people only need that kind of truck for a small percentage of their driving, the rest of the time they could get by with a geo metro. In your case you would want it to be a locker when you are off road, but you live with it in that same configuration the other 95% of the time because thats what you need for the 5% (or less).

I'm really not trying to push you into this. You already know what you want and what your options are. With that long wheel base though, I'd move rock sliders up on the wish list pretty high. You don't want to deal with serious crunch into the door bottoms on that rig.
