Yeah, it really surprised us as well with what a dana 30 has been able to put up with. We are planning on going back along with another trip to hot springs. Would be cool to meet up and do some wheeling there.
If you Google "southern Missouri off road ranch" it will pull up the directions for it. But its about 45 minutes north of Arkansas, almost dead middle of the bottom of the state. And its a blast
@UrbanRockCrawling what about as far as daily driving? I'm planning on going up from 37 to 40 patagonia milestars bc they are super light (100 lbs) and I've had a great experience with their 37s and I rarely offroad so I didn't wanna spend an extra 1000 just to upgrade the brakes if I don't need to right away. I will be upgrading them just a couple months after. I know my reply is a jumbled mess but as far as your opinion goes, do you think I could run lightweight 40s for a few months with little to no offroading with oem d30 brakes? Love your Vids btw lol awesome content!
@zacharysawyer8266 Thank you for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoy them. As far as the brakes go, you will be fine. We daily drive ours as well. My TJ has stock brakes and 36s, and the JK is on 38s. We have drove all over Texas in it and daily commute about 22 miles one way for work, so 44 miles a day along with off roading, long road trips and all kinds of abuse from off road. So i say go for it, just watch your trailing distance on the vehicle in front of you so you dont get brake checked and you will be fine. We can still lock up the brakes with 38s so the stopping force is still there. I think it comes down to overheating when in the hills and mountains, thats what the bigger brakes come in handy is they displace heat better and keep them from failing due to heat. But if you're not pulling a trailer through the mountains on downhill grades, you will be fine. People just really love to over build their rigs just for the sake of saying they have it.
@UrbanRockCrawling awesome man, thanks for the info! Nice to see someone helping us "normal guys" out lol can't wait to see what you got in store for the future!
@zacharysawyer8266 you are welcome, and we all need to help one another when we can. I cant stand when people try talking down on others and try to make them feel stupid for not knowing something. If you have any other questions, hit me up, and I'll do my best to answer. Good luck, and most of all, have fun and happy wrenching buddy!
Nicely done! Blows my mind you’re crushing these trails on that D30!!!! SMORR is on our bucket list!

Those rocks sure look slippery!
You know they were lol. It was like driving on glass covered in oil.
3:45 🎶 “what shall we do with the drunken sailor, earl-eye in the morning” 🎶
🤣🤣 i can hear it through the mountain!
Where in south MO is this park? Looks like a fun place to wheel.

Do you have a dana 30 or 44 in the front?
Its a dana 30 with 5.13 gears and HD ball joints. We haven't done anything else to it. Its open as well, no lockers or anything.
Hey bud what kinda brakes are you running? Oem or BBK?
OEM no upgrades on them at all and we have no issues. And that place was steep and slick. Even in the mountains, we had no issues.
