Rockcrawling in South Dakota means wide-open spaces, but trail bodywork is still common. Tree dents, 5-6 Sawzall blades, and a wild imagination worked to trim the fenders, remove the doors, and french the taillights into oblivion. Yes, behind those Jeeplike taillights and across the windshield reads: “You’re right, I don’t understand the Jeep thing.” Visibility is terrible in a fullsize. Anyone that says otherwise is a liar. The solution for poor visibility is a beefy “Bubba-Built” front bumper to deflect trail obstacles, and 38.5x14.50x15 Super Swampers wrapped around 15x10 wagon wheels to float over everything else. A 3-inch hydraulic steering ram is mounted to the Dana 60 and provides the steering effort needed to fight rocks and win. The front axle runs 4.56 gears, and a Detroit Locker provides the traction, yet this still allows for better steering than a spool would. No, you aren’t going blind, there is only one Rancho shock up front. The other RS 5000 got ripped off on the trail and Todd hasn’t gotten around to replacing it yet.
