stock 89" with some rubbish a/s tires. I could do the mild stuff, but not the wild stuff.

I'd love to go, but doubt it. My steering wheel is off and found out I need a new column.

So a lift is needed for the coarse.

Might actually get me steering column in tomorrow. But, I just noticed that I will be in South Carolina that weekend.

Street tires? I went a lot of place my last trip with 5ish inchs lift and 32's. I would say as long as you have some decent At's or Mt's you will be good on 31's.

Most of the trails can be done with 31s and a little skinny pedal. The stuff off the trails is a different story. I'd love to come but I'm working in Ohio this month.

I like MSORP all right but it's a haul for about 5 hours worth of trails, that's taking my time. There is a ride at Hale Mountain the same day that I'd love to go on and it ain't for anything close to stock. BTW I'd like to see Barney in action cause it's been a while. Last trip I got to ride 45 minutes before breaking a rear drive shaft and front locker.
