[QUOTE="the_revisionist, post: 1373860, member: 32556"] Will do, more than welcome to come next time. Tow strap is definitely recommended, I have 2 straps plus some D ring shackles (both of which came in handy when I got stuck in a mud pit on this last visit). If you get a strap, make sure its long and strong enough. Mine is rated way over the weight of my truck, and was a lifesaver on this last trip. I also have a shovel, machete and some other stuff just in case. I used the machete a few times on this visit to chop down low branches etc but generally the trails there are easy to fit through in a Raptor. Otherwise a stock truck should be able to handle a lot of Hillbillies trails no problems. I'd also recommend a seat cover and probably overalls, as you may get muddy and cleaning mud off your seats sucks. Also having a change of clothes is a good idea in case you do get covered in mud. Trucks are limited to the tailings area at St Joe, it's fun for going fast across the sand and skidding around, and there's a little bit of adventuring that can be done. However you're not allowed on the trails there in a road vehicle. Hillbillie is better for trails, St Joe is better for going fast, though of the two I prefer Hillbillie as there is more to do and I enjoy the adventuring & conquering tricky trails part. [/QUOTE]
