    I think I've got the majority of the "difficult" parts on video here. I didn't get much of the creek bottom but I ran through that in 4hi going pretty fast. Wasn't any issue. Heard it could be though if it rains. Might skip this if it's been raining all week/day.

    Having a locker definitely helps but think it's doable without, might have to take a strap here or there though.

    I think Josh had the most trouble with that first obstacle you see, the one where I accidentally bump my horn. It gets a little tight and you kinda need a little pop to get up and over that rock without stacking a bunch. The rest wasn't too bad, but there are some harder lines for the built guys that want to play some.

    Heres a Rubicon struggling haha.

    I'll be there Thursday but I am not sure if I can run most of the harder trails but I sure as hell don't want to sit around while everyone is wheeling! So what, kind fellows, would you recommend? I'll have 33's, sliders, possibly a bumper, and my crappy LSD! Thanks for the input if any, and thank you good sirs for making this event possible and organized. You are how they say, THE SHIT!!!

    check out the trails <=6 in the middle of this post..http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/south-west/183493-tacoma-moab-meet-2012-a.html#post3896523

    you should definitely be fine with them...

    there are some trails not mentioned that can be researched more here..
    http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php

    but if you want to play is safe i'd shoot for things rated 6 or lower.

    but when you come in, head into the play area at BFE and see what you feel comfortable on and then discuss with the experienced drivers at camp for a better idea of what you can shoot for for friday and sunday...

    Do you need a locker for sure on golden spike? With a limited slip and a good line would it work or no?

    I've seen video of people doing it with open diffs. It's just not as pretty. From what I can tell looking at it, the more your suspension can flex the better off you are. I will be attempting it with the LSD.
