Your biggest hurdle will be the "pinch rock".
Its REALLY FRICKIN TIGHT! Expect to spend some time manuvering through that, and you should be good the rest of the way.
There used to be a bypass, but its now blocked.
There are a few boulder sections after that, but there not all THAT difficult.
Espressomon had made it through in his "Hundy" unscathed...at least from the trail. He had another issue that questionable engineering, but not anything to do with the trail.
Its a geat run!

Thanks!
Ya wasnt too worried about the difficulty of the trail, mainly that one obstacle. Wondering if i could even fit. But thats good hearing that spresomon made it through.
Spresomon any comments??

I was there when Spresso did the trail. Bring your rock stacking gloves if you want to get a Hundy through the pinch rock, the by-pass has a giant tree across it now. It was a bad place for a by pass so I can see why it was blocked. Any more traffic and it would have resulted in massive errosion.
How is your rig set up? I would think you would need at least 33's and a mild lift to get a 100 through some of the rock gardens. Sliders would help too.
Here are some pictures from that day.
Spresso in the pinch rock, this is before we built the Roman Road on the DS. You can't see in the pic but the rock is almost touching the DS door. We had to build a ramp that kept that side up until the rear bumper cleared
Shawns FJ40 in the same spot.

Spresso in one of the rock Gardens.

My quote says it all...
The rock gardens dont seem like to big of a deal, ONLY worried about the tight spots. But if spresomon cleared it??

Could he of gone higher on his high side? And make the clearing a LITTTLE bit easier?
OR would he have been leaning over to much making contact iwth the rock..?

He would have crushed his door when the tire came off the rock.
We tried four or five different angles and approaches.
