v6runner, all I can say is one word...... JEALOUS

 

I feel your pain in having a truck that is too big to use, and please spare me your stories of driving through mud puddles and having to put it into low range to get out. I will only have belief in your truck once it can jump 3 and a half feet high and a distance of 34 feet long from lift off to touch down, and land in one peace and drive you home. If you can then you have built a real truck. And when your done with the jumping in the dunes, drive up to the mountains and go on a rock trail that can send home broken jeeps, and do it without smashing your body panels on trees and rocks and snapping your drivetrain.
