I had mine out again yesterday and it was able to do everything stock that the others on the ride could do (4-runner, 2 FJ-60's, and a Disco). The only limitation I found is that it's wider than the 60's and the 4runner...at least it appears that way. The girl in front of me banged up her 4 runner compliments of a tree...so I didn't head that way and hit the mud bypass in stead. The guys in the 60's were ready to winch me out, but not necessary, I came through just fine. I had the ATRAC on in case I needed it, but it didn't fire once the whole time. Granted, it was not extreme conditions, but eveyone was impressed with what it could do.

I'll have it lifted and ready for another run at Tellico in about 2 weeks and we'll see how that goes!

Good thing you didn't ride with me, Taylor, and the boys in your truck

It walked up some things the fully locked and lifted trucks has issues with.

It is no wider than an 80, never had any issues on the same trails you went on. I think you had an issue with new owner worries!
