I removed most of the body from my 72 in order to save as much weight as possible. It made a huge improvement off-road. I suspect that the truck now weighs in the neighborhood of 3500 pounds.

We have a responsibility as 4wheelers to be careful where we drive, and always support Tread Lightly policies. We don't want to see someone tear up land and make new trails on their own. These are  legitimate trails. Most trails here are fair game as long as you don't cross any "Critical Habitat", salmon stream's, or private property. The pictures that you see on this page or anywhere else on this website are all on dedicated trails. There are a few pictures that appear to not be on a trail, but I assure you that they are. The reason that they look the way they do is because not very many people make it back  this far, so the trail tends to grow over after a few years. Also, people have made bypasses around the nasty spots.  We  prefer to stick to the main trail when ever possible.
