Thanx for your response....I'm not worried about paying to play...part of the game. Just won't have time to play in this instance. If I didn't have a road trip four days following this wheelin' trip, I would not be concerned at all. You can't blame me really. If the truck became undriveable, I would get to drive the wifey's '91 Celica for over 1300 miles. Ummmm....fun. Not the most comfortable road-trip car.
So anyhoo...I have an idea of where I stand on this thing. I appreciate your input. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna be popping a joint just from looking at something the wrong way. (Plus....some of the other ENCXC are going on this run with numerous other Nissan owners...and we got to show them that the X's are worthy of running with their older pathy's and HB's. There seems to be some doubt on their part. And I didn't want to be hitting one of the tougher trails out there and hear the unmistakable hand-grenade sound of the joint exploding. "Uh yeah...those X's sure are tuff.")
