This rock garden is CRAZY, I could barely walk through it and couldn't imagine anyone taking their rig through it. Very impressive to get through that.
Nice pics, can't wait to get back later this summer...
Sick, just sick. What are you running in the rear now RK? Looks like air shocks but can't see how it's linked in the pics???
Do you have any issue w/ your draglink hitting the frame rail on the pass side?

Now this is just outright impressive, I want to get there even sooner now. Who's ready to go?

The name of that obstacle is Lion's Den, it's a great spot! It's just off of the main trail, kind of like an optional bonus area. Harlan is a great place to wheel, everything from mild to wild.
I'm running 16" travel 2.0 Sway-a-Way air shocks in the rear with a 4-link. The drag link doesn't rub the frame, but it's close.

That's right, I had forgotten the name. I agree, you can wheel a subaru to a buggy there and have fun...
That looks awesome! A couple of us from Bluegrass Cruisers went up there a couple of months ago and there was so much mud we couldn't do much of anything. We'll definitely have to go back now!
Yeah, but where are the hard core trail pics? 
Wow.

Hey RK, what's the smallest size tires running in your crew? Just curious how much I can get done up there on 35's.
The blue Toyota min truck is running 35" BFGs. He did amazingly well with 35s, lockers in both axles, and a flexy suspension. The truck is light weight though.
You can run a lot of the trails and have a good time. Just be aware that there is the potential for body damage in many areas.
So you're saying that a full-bodied 2nd Gen 4Runner is not the best rig for some of the trails? 
I obviously don't mind body damage all that much, but this pic just screams "complete destruction of windows and pillars":

It would definitely trash your rain gutters. I rode the tubing on my cage in several spots, on rocks and trees. One key to some of the off-camber trails is to have a low center of gravity. You would probably have a good time, but also collect some new trail scars!

Good stuff RK.. the rig looks tough!!
Can't wait for you guys to come up this way.. I'm gonna make sure we have a capable trail guide

THat spot is just crazy looking!! No way any full bodied wagon cruiser would make it through there.
Looks like that tree won't be there for much longer.
