    Once you start going, you will know what you can't do.

    The only trials I have done, that I feel a stock truck couldn't do, are Iron Chest and Moab Rim (7+'s.)

    Red Elephant is a fun one to test your skills, because of the big rock that normally hangs everyone up.

    but the question is, is your truck stock or does it have mods? and how many have you gone on total?

    It's honestly better to go with people, unless obviously they pick a trail that's completely impossible for a stock vehicle - which we won't be picking a) because there's stockers (I'm still pretty stock underneath & my tires suck) b) it's the winter time! The tougher trails are going to be impassable.

    I say we just do Balanced Rock Road - that looks great, unless we hear from someone down south that it is officially closed... That's the real problem we're going to run into with any of these trails. I don't know how many people have done trail runs after the snow. Going to be interesting regardless - but I've got a winch, and others do too so we'll be able to yank people out :D.

    With my tires, I felt stock on that Yankee Hill run where everyone bugged out but Eric & me :anonymous:.

    Seriously. I don't think I am ever going to buy another set of these, unless I have yet another set to put on when I go wheelin. Might as well get a commuter car at that point...

    But yea, that bumper does give me a nice attack angle.. ;) In theory I could pull myself out, but I still need to get all the fancy things like a tree saver, snatch block - so if I am solo and need to yank myself out I can! I try not to do that tho, never a good idea...

    I'm not exactly close, but I guess closer than you? I have a comfy couch you can crash on if needed.

    Falken's. Very disappointed, they appear to have a pretty aggressive tread... but I guess not for snow :(.

    I guess they're not atrocious, but in the snow they're especially bad.
