    Are we gonna do the little bit harder section of the trail? I'm sure Matthew can tug the 2wd guys through if they even need it.

    Haha. I'm not gonna be the only 4wd out there. Besides, if you get stuck out here, on the trails, you might as well hand over your man card!

    One or two things modded... Check out the build thread
    are those even considered trails? I always thought they were just maintained service roads?

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    yeah. if you guys are talking about what I'm thinking, I did it just fine in 2wd.

    To me they just seemed like the shittiest roads imaginable, but still drive-able by any truck/suv.

    I think that means everybody here will be fine.

    Yeah its not bad, but its much worse now than it was say a few years ago. With all the rain we had a while back has washed out a few places but still no problem for 2wd. However there is no way I would take any vehicle without moderate ground clearance down it. That is unless you like replacing oil pans and various parts that the rocks decided to make lunch out of.

    I've never ran it. I've just heard there was harder parts than others. I'll go anywhere y'all wanna go. Lol

    So we're meeting up the 23rd? Anyone set a place or time? I don't know the area very well or I would.

    Just checked the 4runner.org thread and it looks like the meet is going to be on the 23rd in the afternoon and the meeting place is Wal-Mart parking lot.

    Idk what time the afternoon is but I figured it means we'd meet around 12:00?
