    Not sure what's going on but I'm already a member on the ENH site and it won't let me log on. I even reset my password and still can't get on. I guess I registered last year and can't remember that password either.:facepalm:

    You've got me there, FJ has pretty bad utility when it comes to hauling bulk materials

    Hard is def going to be hard this year. Even so, I have done most of those roads on 32s open/open. Its all about armor and taking your time with a good spotter. If you panic and skinny pedal to get over an obstacle, you WILL break.

    If the FJ had a solid front axle it would, hands down, be the best offroad vehicle currently in production...that is FACT

    UPDATE: 3 more moderate spots left for the Yota run and 6 more hard run spots.

    If the list fills up before you get to sign up, get on the waitlist. People ALWAYS cancel.

    I will put it this way, all of the trails on the mod run have been done in stock tacomas. I myself have done most of them in a stock tacoma with 32 inch MTs. @BananaPeelOut has done most of these roads in a stock Taco with highway tires! Even so, the chance for undercarriage or rockerpanel damage is a possibility. There are ledges and many basketball sized rocks. If you drive very carefully and ask for spotters when you need them, you should be OK, but I make no promises. You WILL, however, scratch your truck - that is unavoidable. Most trails in NH are overgrown and the branches will leave some trail pin-stripping (although usually not so bad as to scratch to the bare metal). I personally love my custom stripes and I wear them with pride.

    With all of that said, the run begins fairly easy and gets harder throughout the day. Given this, you can always bail at any point. We are not the kind of people who would push someone to do something they are uncomfortable with. So, if you live close-by, you could always come for half a day and get your feet wet.

    Another option is to join ENH and do a "newbie run". They are usually offered every month. In fact there is one on the 12th posted right now with a few open spots left. These runs are a great way to get a feel for the trails in NH without the fear of too much damage.

    Almost always kids on runs. It can be a long day, but you can bail whenever you want. When I bring mine, I bust out the tablets after half a day lol
