    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    We will be most likely in the big opening at the main entrance. Your info says you have a prerunner is that true? If so im assuming your leaving it at the trail head and riding with someone?

    I have a small leak somewhere above my diff... i think. Checked all my levels, and all looks well. Not sure what it is, but dont think it will prevent me from going next week unless i find out bad news later today.

    I was going to hit the trail and just take the bypasses on the difficult areas. My truck is a prerunner but does have a rear locking diff that helps out a lot.

    Hello, I would like to participate if that's okay, me + 1-2 people, maybe. Thinking about leaving friday after 1pm. Most likely coming from south bay. I would like to join the trail (atleast the easy one) but not sure how technical this place is. I have a 14' 4Runner Limited. Would like to test what it's capable of but don't want to damage anything, lol. it's too new. =)

    This trail is not prerunner friendly you would make it very far without power to the front wheels and a low gear. It would be best to ride with someone else on this trip.

    Everyone is welcome but if you are stock with no armor i dont recommend you runing the trail if you dont want damage it. I took my truck on this trail when i first bought it and was freaked out the whole time! I did not belong there in a stock truck.

    I see, well I don't know anyone yet so if anyone will be willing to let me and my girl friend ride with them that would be cool. Ether way I will still come up and maybe hit some of the less difficult trails in the area.

    If i my truck was bigger id let you guys ride with me but my back seat is really noting and wheeling back there would suck. You could make it down to where we are camping in a prerunner and some of the fire roads in the area but any OHV trail would be 4X4 only and couldn't be done with a prerunner.

    No under armor, just sliders and a mild 2" lift. But since it's a Limited, doesn't have the same approach angles as a trail or SR5. It's fairly stock, nothing like your guys rig. I assume there's no easy trails at all?

    You will be most likely be hitting your bumpers on this trail. And the only thing easy in the area is fire roads.

    Jerry... This might be easier. What do you suggest people have

    4x4?
    Lift hieght?
    tire size?
    Bumpers?
    Sliders?
    Skids?

    What kind of obsticals are on the trail?

    As of now I will have my whole 4Runner open so people are welcome to ride with me. Slight chance I will have one other person but I doubt it.
