What trail? Where? I' may not be brave, but I am kind of dumb

"Lockers, high ground clearance and excellent articulation are needed"

I may qualify for high ground clearance, but surely not the other two. I'll pass.

 

The authors are risk averse. They think every trail needs lockers and 4wd.

 

That's the smartest thing I've ever heard a "dumb person" say.

The trail isn't that bad. There are maybe two obstacles that would be tricky without a locker. Armor for sure and another vehicle if you don't have a locker just in case you need a tug.

 

If you want to do a trail like that with an open open set up you can, just go with someone who is experienced. But always know you play in the rocks, they play back. This trail is not super difficult. @desertjunkie760 ran it open open, a jeep we went with ran it open open. Experience goes a long way. Just ask and maybe someone will head out there with you.

 

This was what was needed for a buddy's rig that didn't have a rear locker He has a TRD Sport

 

I've done that section when it was wet outside. I wonder how tough the weather has been on those trails. Looks pretty torn up.

 

Also, this gem

 

Mr Yellow YJ doesn't know how to turn right?

 

Lots of talk for someone who just backed out of the trail a few posts ago.

 

to be fair, I never went down it, I didn't back out of it

 

Oh, you're one of those... Fair enough. I'd be down for a Carol Canyon night run sometime soon if we put a group together.

 

Nah, not really one of those. Never having been on that trail, it does look like the jeep could have turned right 3 feet ago and avoided the picture. Maybe he wanted that, maybe you cant turn, I dont know. I'll try tons of stuff, but i know i have limits with 2" lift, 32's, not protection, and usually alone. I'm blind at night, and working my way through mounting a lightbar right now, so maybe I can go along and learn a few things.

 

That’s the jeep i speak of

 

Gotta camp there, gates close at dark I think

 

I'm just giving you a hard time. He could have done many things but it was a manual trans and I think he was at letting it bite and not stopping otherwise. It's been awhile since that trip so I don't remember all of the details.

I wouldn't recommend anything in Coral Canyon without protection. Sliders are a MUST.

 

What's wrong with that? I wouldn't want to drive home late.

 

God I miss wheeling

 

Lets organize a run
