Re: Mark your Calendars Boys!
That trail looks great... might be a little more than what I want to drive my truck through... (yeah, I know, I'm a pussy. I like to 4 wheel, I'm just not into the rock crawling part of it.. not worth the damage)

Re: Mark your Calendars Boys!
Mark there will be groups that consist of
Beginner/Moderate
Moderate/Hard
Hard
Extreme.
Beginner/Moderate trails would be perfect for you man. And I promise you would have a GREAT time. Just ask Rousche and BigZ I got both of them to go to the Windrock Event and something tells me they had no regrets. In fact on Day 2 they wanted to go Moderate/Hard and I led them lol... It was their first time doing real off roading. When we got done they wanted to run some even harder stuff! lol

I'm gonna ask you a stupid question....
From that video, would you consider that moderate/hard? I ain't afraid of wheelin' my truck, it's not a garage queen but at the same time, I don't want to be replacing diffs, trashing paint, etc, etc....
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Mark your Calendars Boys!
The rock garden in that vid would be the HARD group and that garden is totally by-passable... I was just there this weekend prerunning on my quad. I have also been there in the Hummer. There are plenty of trails there that are Beginner to Moderate Rated that you would have an absolute blast on. And most of the Moderate stuff is really wide too.
In fact when I ran it back in August we stuck to Class 4 Truck trails. Trails are rated Class2-5. We pretty much ran Class 4 all day in the pouring rain. The only carnage we did was a 2 broken tie rods. Both on the same truck and they were running factory tie rods. I had spares so we swapped them out and kept on truckin'

Re: Mark your Calendars Boys!
Well, if I get my truck back by then, I'd like to go. I've got a race May 2nd so as long I have no issues, my goal is to go with you guys.
