    Stock? Meaning no lift? Or no protection, skids and sliders? Or neither of both?

    I've done that trail a few times. I do not recommend it without aftermarket skids and sliders for protection. If you have no lift, you will be dragging body panels and under carriage in several places. Even if you do have some lift, sliders will protect from rocker panel damage.

    Last time we went thru there, a couple of the bigger obstacles had gotten much worse from abuse from the razrs.

    Stock as in bone stock. Good to know. I've looked at pictures from some people's trip reports and it seemed not so bad, but if the trail is getting worse I could see it being a challenge.

    Trust Mike.... When the group of us were on the trail a few summers back it had just gotten some rehab from a local 4x4 group. That was.....4....summers ago I think. My first gen was the closest to stock in the group and I know I hit a few things. If I was banging things up then you'd definitely do some damage now.

    Haven't seen that one yet! I'll have to keep my eyes out for it though. Pretty poor parking job though! LOL

    My co-worker says she's seen this rig by Target before.

    I go every year. Be fine for most of it but you wouldn't make it to the lake. The finale obstacle is really tore up now. Will need sliders and skids with a nice tire to make it.

    Took a "lifted" nissan through there last year. Had worse ground clearance then my stock 1st gen. Got him through it but he used his sliders a few times and I spotted him over a ton of stuff that myself and my buddy walked over. He didn't attempt the last obstacle.

    So I was doing my daily Craiglist search for Tacoma (hoping someday to find a cheap topper). Anyhow I found this beauty with a home made... snorkel?

    Yes! Have seen this thing around town. Been trying to get various aquatences to buy this. Seems built right, and in all seriousness, until you ground it out it would run circles around my Tacoma.

    Snapped a shock on my buddy's 4runner trying to go up that trail, so we ended up going to the top of lulu pass and walking to the lakes up that drainage instead.
