Well it will definitely spend most of its time on the streets. To me a trail rig would be tube frame buggy and towed to the trails. I don't plan to get as serious as Chris (Squeaky) is. I just have broke way too many dana 44's in my younger days to put one in a 5500 vehicle. Maybe you can get one to live in a light trail rig.Just curious if you're building a dedicated trail rig, or one for DD use too? (Sorry I haven't been following your 'build')
