Probably muddy as s***.
I'm in
So a question for the group. I have AT's, a functioning suspension lift system and a CB, but no sliders yet. Can I run trails where I can avoid rocker damage?
Also, I have a friend with a 4runner who would like to come along. He ordered a CB and if it arrives in time, I'll help him tune it. Can he run Rausch without a CB?

We can adapt and always willing to help have fun, most important, listen to your spotter lol!
I am riding shot gun with @jamarquardt22, I will have my camera and be able to walk the trail and help where needed.
@elk, how modified is you friends 4Runner? what generation?

I agree with Andy Zook's advice- I surely wouldn't take a brand new expensive vehicle on the trails on my first trip to either Rausch or Anthracite. Beneficial to get some seat time and see what it's all about first.
Having said that, Andy Marquardt has been wheeling a long time and leading rides just as long. I remember how well he did way back when with his stock-looking Taco! He certainly knows what trails are suitable for the various rigs and is a great spotter and resource for us guys on the trail. Looking forward to seeing/hearing how you guys make out tomorrow, please post up trail reports and pictures for those of us who won't be there. My two rigs will be dry in the garage while my wife and I are visiting in Richmond.
Right now (Friday morning) it's snowing pretty hard here in Brockton. Two inches on the ground, sure I hope it's done soon!

Yes, yes you did, I remember vividly
We'll keep you updated G, have a nice visit and safe travels.
Scratches and dents are definitely a possibility with as tight as Rausch is...
I remember my first time out in stock form with just some BFG A/Ts, it was at Paragon (R.I.P) and luckily it was just scratches, I got my first dents at Rausch lol!
I agree, it might be better to ride along, especially if he is still running on the factory Dunlop tires.
Still encourage him to get out, but maybe look into a slightly more aggressive tire before hand.
If he is still interested in taking his own out, I am sure we can make things happen!
I would be inclined to take out my stock 4Runner, but right now its the last utility vehicle I have till I get the engine work done.

Chicks dig trail damage, just ask my wife
I usually get the "What did you break now?" after every trip lol
Buddy of mine took his wife's brand new 4runner to Rausch and stuck to greens and maybe easy blues. It was completely stock on street tires. He did fine. AOAA has MUCH tighter trails than Rausch.
