    Greetings Checking to see if anyone can advise on how difficult this trip is.

    We are thinking about going in from the Rubicon access at Loon Lake and heading out on Wentworth springs road.

    Trucks are mildly built-- rear lockers and sliders, bigger tires, one truck has a winch
    moderate skill from both drivers

    Doable? or body damage likely

    any input is appreciated
    thanks

    I was hoping someone with recent experience would answer this.

    The last time I did the Wentworth Springs leg (about 15 years ago), I was on 33's with 103" wheelbase and rear locker. Very doable. Trail might have changed a lot since then. I now have a 122" wheel-base on 31's. Not sure if I want to chance it even though I have sliders and skids. I'd be thrilled just to make it to the slabs from Loon spillway.
