  4. TJ Adams
    Experience: Trail Pro / many years of experience
    Vehicle: 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD or 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Mods: Both are highly modified. The Silverado is solid axle swapped, on 37″s with 4.56:1 gears and ARB lockers front/rear. It’s relatively well armored but does *not* have true sliders. It does have a winch since it’s a heavy beast and self-recovery is key. The big thing with the Silverado is I have a Four Wheel Camper on the back, so overhead clearance can be an issue. I’ve done all of Whiterim and other trails like that with it. The WJ is long-armed, full belly skid, sliders, built/locked D44s, 35″s, 4.88s, GenIII Hemi, etc. etc. etc. It also has a winch.
