Tentative "in" based on the following..

How built/modded does a truck need to be to do the planned route?

Sliders, skids IMHO
Grooters did it in a Frontier
mostly need good suspension for the washboard roads.

Please post IN on the new x.org

In as well. Myself + 1 (either the wife or my brother, depending on work schedules). I'm running a PML with spacer in front and shackle/AAL combo in the back, plus bill 5100s all the way around. Let me know if you think this will be good enough for the washboard roads.

Sounds like an amazing trip, thanks for organizing!

JF, just airing down will soften the ride on washboards and you will ride nice and smooth over it all. Your rig will do just fine for a trip like this one with zero to no worries.

You know what I'm going to ask?

You know what I'm going to ask?
