[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 380655, member: 21068"] WhopperStopper, I was on the Howard road yesterday. Most of it is not gravel. You will probably want to pack a set of tire chains and tighteners/bungees with you. You may not need them, but if it rains or snows you will probably ge glad you have them! Alot of this dirt around here is "gumbo" or has quite a bit of bentonite in it. Just a little moisture and it gets VERY slippery/sticky. I run 35" Super Swampers, 4.63:1 gears, 6" lift with traction bars and limited slip in the rear / locker in the front, truck weighs about 10K lbs, balanced evenly................two season's ago, I was chained up (all four tires) for 3 or 4 days in a row. This is the exception rather than the rule, but don't waste your trip due to lack of traction. It would sure suck to be limited to the gravel roads/pavement if it decides to rain while you're here. You don't necessarily need the mods that I run, but Tire Chains alone can make all the difference in the world! I haven't yet been on the Dunham Rd, Butcher Rd, Cowger Rd, or Oil City Rd. I can probably ask the county guys if they're graveled or not if you are concerned?? Let me know. [/QUOTE]
