My daughter on the top checking on me. This was really sketchy. I actually froze on top for a second. Rig tipped hard to my side. Freaked me the f*** out.

Had a few issues.
Hounddog broke an axle, the cfmoto cracked an engine case.
I lost a nut on upper control arm bolt and suspension dropped

And Sammy pushed a tire off in a very inconvenient spot

not a good place to add spacers....
Not at all. Luckily we all are use to Idaho anyways and try to leave stock width. Behemoths don’t do well and up here they would’ve ended up at the bottom of a very long trip down in this spot. No backing up
Brandon was already hanging tire over with just aftermarket wheels. He’s already looking for stockers. Had he had spacers too...
Pretty sure we’re the largest rig on this whole path. It was an atv/dirt bike trail. No Talon R here, Definitely no 4-door limo Popo or CanAm Lmao! With all the clearance needed at times I doubt many of the smaller Sxs’s. Truthfully I don’t think a 500 would’ve made it to the ledge.

So the 700 might have been the best compromise?

IMHO yes. It was a bit tippy at a couple spots but especially with the auto that’s in the 700 it would’ve done good. Plus it’s got the locker. I wouldn’t have been in any rig without true 4wd lock today. Period.

I'll take the heat for that. @Eltobgi noticed the bolt isn't long enough when using the washers I sent.
You will need a m10x240mm socket head cap screw to engage the nylock nut.

If you want me to drop ship them to you, let me know. I don't think I can buy the nuts individually. Only packs of 25. You might have to find those locally.

What the hell do u do if u meet someone coming the other direction?
Idaho isn’t very congested,quite honestly its something that’s never on your mind. Once on the trails here we only saw a small group once the whole weekend where the tire lost the bead.
Don’t think too many ride that area however if someone has the balls to drive down ya you’d be screwed. Even turning a dirt bike around would be a serious pain.

Can you please exchange NC for Idaho? It comparatively sucks here...
You’ll like this place,hopefully you can stay on the lake for a few weeks next year and we will commute. Maybe relax and fish or catch yourself some silver mine tours and some Squatch, I’m sure he’s there.
A bunch of switchback hill climbs there you’d like. Everything climbs up to ride ridges for miles. One goes straight up like a mile probably 3000 feet of elevation change. Heard you can ride all the way to Avery on nothing but high ground.
Some serious s*** here, can’t wait to get back. You know I don’t like taking weekends off, but going through the Pioneer and Wolverine a bit this weekend so there’s no mishaps like last weekend, it means death there. Headed back in two weeks!
