    ^^^damn he's fast! :)

    Here is the trail damage report. Biggest thing and issue is the water. You travel in it for some time as the creek is the trail. COTTORA is calling it a stocker run however if you look on the site there is a trail report with pics from last weekend of the trail. I don't have much experience with the trail so I wouldn't want to egg you on or scare you away. Your call.

    Sean, the trail will be easy enough to where you won't take body damage but it will have water 2ft+ deep and in that water there are rocks 1-2ft tall that you cannot see. Also it looks like there are 1-2 ledges that are 1-2ft tall.

    problem too is most the rigs on those trail reports are built up and would be choosing the harder lines, so i'd take their obstacle line choosing with a grain of salt...i think DOT said he's been on there before, maybe he can chime in more about what type of bypasses there are on the higher ledges

    I am of the mind set of: Everything looks like a newb trail, once you start running trails.


    It is all about comfort level. If you don't feel comfortable (especially from the pictures,) don't do it.

    daryll (NetMonkey) was concerned at the beginning of mcclellan mtn trail, but running with experienced drivers will help build some confidence on the trail and will make the trails easier...at the end he was glad he pushed his limits by hanging with us and was very impressed on what he and his truck could do...and jenny creek is rated slightly lower than mcclellan but close to similar rating

    Dear Sean, uh. you dont really know what your truck can do until, you have Pounced, Underestimated, Slid, Stuck, and Yes, it's possible. AKA P.U.S.S.Y, If you go with people that have a smear clue of what they are doing, and Your car is surprisingly Bad Ass, you will make it through some very rough, gnarly, scary, and AWESOME places. there are a TON of trails that look intimidating. but you will be amazed at the trails and the places you can go.

    *personal experiences*

    First time in Moab. Did all sorts of trails like Hells revenge, fins and things, golden spike, all of which are rated to be fairly tough trails, my stock sport tacoma walked through all of it with no sweat.

    Moral of the Story. GO PLAY! you might enjoy it

    I guess I'm with Sean on this one...I didn't spend 22 grand to beat up a truck. If I had, I wouldn't have bought one so comfortable, with AC, 6 CD changer, power windows, etc lol.

    Feel free to call me a pussy, but its my daily driver, my ride to work, I'm keeping her on the road.

    I did the trail about 2 years ago in my wrangler there is only on ledge and should be no problem in a lifted truck also at the time there was a bypass around it. My jeep was lifted 4'' with 33's and as far as the rocks it drove over them with no problem. The trail i am sure has changed alittle since i was there and the water is going to be higher but I would still run the trail in a stock toyota. Just my 2 cents
