You wont have any trouble with this set up. Not many trail you can't do with your rig.

I bet most of you have seen this but for those who have not here is a teaser for you. Eric has a great write up on his web site on the 2011 Sierra Fest. They did Deer Valley too.

I'm just wondering if I would be ok to follow them and take a few bypasses for the bigger obsticles. Id rather not destroy my DD.

I was just trying to be funny with that "wench on top", comment. Now seeing those awesome pics of the Rube trail trip looks like that might actually be handy! And WOW! Thanks.
