I'll definitely keep this thread alive, I plan on spending many adventures off road with the '72.

As you can see, if you remove the overloads the old trucks flex out OK! Nothing crazy but they'll get you through anything you'd tackle out in the woods....

Ok, so its not a good video. I set out to try and solve my steering issue with some test runs in this pond. Shortly before this video I lost the ability to shift out of first thanks to a dirty trans filter. And as you can see towards the end I break the front u-joint on the rear shaft and it just drops out.

Pulling in reverse is never a good idea.

no, not sure of the name, but there wasn't room for a nice running start like winch hill.

Those little suzukis are tough to beat. We see people abuse the snot out of them much like that.

Not to hijack...

We will have to get together at Rausch sometime. I don't wheel my Dodge there but I am up there all the time towing my Jeep. I would love to see a diesel out on the trails.
