When we had the fender I'd crushed removed, I kept thinking the rig looked like it was going to transform. Lol

It was in this thread also......we're wanting to see both front and rear doors off...and possibly no front fender.

i've thought of removing doors... however with how tight the trails get with spider infested brush and muddy terrain... I'll pass. If I were still in the desert, i may.

Went out scouting for a hunting spot this morning. Found some good areas. There is a pretty good chunk of state game lands about 15 minutes from school. Sucks, doe tags are all sold out for this WMU. But I saw plenty of big buck tracks around and a couple old rub lines from last year. I'm hopeful.
EDIT: I'll also add, I stopped at one spot with a small and narrow access. Sign on the gate says do not block. So i backed up onto the grassy edge of the dirt road. It's just wide enough between the trees and the edge of the road to leave the truck. As I'm backing up, the right rear slides off into a ditch and the whole truck starts sliding in that direction. I put it in D and try to pull forward. No go. I put it in 4hi and Move a few inches while spinning opposite corners. I'm watching the left front dig away at the edge of the road. I back up a little, I was able to back up further than I was expecting. Give it a gentle but firm run at it, a little wheel slip but it was enough to get the left front to bounce up onto the road surface and put enough weight on it for it to dig in and pull the truck up out of the ditch. Got lucky there. No shovel or come along in the truck.
