Trail riding take skill believe it or not. Well what is trail riding you might ask, it’s really quite simple. Group of trucks, a small trail, and a point of destination. Pushing your truck to its breaking point and sometimes past it, weaving and winding through the trail hitting holes and rough terrain. Your vehicle, your actions, your mistakes. You and a group of friends just hitting the trail best feeling in the world. Now, let’s consider this post a pre lesson, I’ll be showing you things you might not know about trail riding and trucks in general. First, we’re going to be starting off with the body or frame of your vehicle, it is essential to know a lot about the frame your vehicle when riding so you know how different terrain will affect you. Now what’s attached to your frame, suspension right? The answer is yes, now do you have independent or straight suspension. Now, what you want is independent, independent allows your front end to move opposite to your frame, meaning a lot smoother ride and flex on rough terrain. On to brakes, you don’t want disc brakes; you for sure want drum brakes. Drum brakes don’t allow sand and other daubery to get into or on your pads. While with disc brakes they are completely open to water, mud, dirt, and every other thing they’ll see on the trail. The front and rear end on the frame is a little bit complex for most people and it is for me as well for the most part. But all I can say is. I love what I do, so it's not tiring. If I worked at a computer or drove a truck, I'd be dead in a week. .
