    Did you get the seal insertion tool from ECGS? I’ve been sending out a 2” pvc coupling, but it won’t guarantee the depth is set properly

    Would be rough. Lots of rock stacking or dragging yourself over the rocks with a winch.

    EDIT: here's my buddy's well built T4R that couldn't get through the pebble garden and backed out.

    Thanks for this info Cruz. I was in HF for about 40 minutes trying to decide between 2 and 2.5ton because they’re pretty much the same price. Ultimate got the 2 and convinced myself “if it’s good enough from Cruzer, it’s good enough for me”. Was bummed because figured I’d have to wait a while on pro Eagle before I could get to installing. Order an hour ago; got a delivery notice for tomorrow. Crazy fast. Thanks again!

    People were just going everywhere. Would probably be more fun to hit these trails when KOH is not taking place.
