    There's quite a bit of tough lines at Rowher that you can pick that would definitely bang up the skids, Drinkwater not so much. Especially in the rain though

    Rowher has so many wide open areas that make it easier if you take certain lines but if you want to make it a tough trail you can. Especially if you hit that 5 finger section off the main trail.

    And let us not forget the "diff breaker" section that has claimed at least 2 rear diffs this past summer, lol.

    I can't remember his username off the top of my head but there was a thread on here about a month ago from a guy with a 2nd gen that was looking for a new rear axle with an e-locker after he toasted his on Rowher. I described the section that Alex busted his on and he said it was the same spot, I'll see if I can dig up the thread in a bit.

    I would totally take my fat pig (Tundra). But I am on stock tires, no skid plates and no lift.

    If you want to scuff up your skid plate you ain't doing anything easy. LOL!

    If you want to roll with me you're more than welcome to, the Rowher trail is pretty easy if you stick to the simpler lines. They all reconvene at the same points.

    Drinkwater is the same way. The gatekeeper is really the only tough part that you're forced to do if you start on the San Francisquito side, but it's not bad.

    MY TRUCK PASSED SMOG! and I didn't have to bribe anybody! :bananadance::bananadance:

    The tech pointed out that the serial # on my TRD headers don't match the year of my truck and that he could technically fail me on that, but he didn't lol. Weird though.

    Was worried about the7th injector too since its not CARB certified but I guess he didn't notice it. I wrapped the braided steel fuel line in electrical tape so maybe that helped.

    Anyway I'm pretty stoked :D. 2 more worry free years!

    Let me know, going to be doing the 4x4 trail but all trails at Rowher lead to the same spot(s). Even if it's just wet it should be more fun than usual.

    Wires too or no? I've read one or two threads on here where the wires were the culprit, if it pops back up that might be the next place to look. That or maybe the coils
