IIRC, that's a straight on obstacle in Lower Helldorado. You have to stradle that crevis otherwise, you'll be running the down side for sure. Since he had the width in the axles, you climb just where his driver's side tires are. Otherwise, you have great potential to slip into the crevis.

Hello, everyone!

I will be at moab 05.

I kept my axles , rims, tires. They will be under a 4dr. kick with automatic and twin cases.etc.etc.etc.
 Toyota axles now live under my sammy and I am giving it to my brother to destroy in Las Vegas!

No pics, you will just have to go to moab and see it!

Later, Jake Palmberg

You see how much 'space' Jake made in the sheetmetal for the 44's, just makes you wonder what size/configuration tire he plans for the 4dr.

I'm guessing, he'll lose the rear most side window for the clearance. Maybe running a conv't 4dr with 1/3 doors. Maybe the 4dr will hold a back seat.......

4dr. Kick only needs the mog axles moved forward on the  front  moved back on the rear , stock bumpers replaced . No body lift, no fender trimming.
