Sunflower Mine Trail Run-Postponed

Gauging interest to see if anyone would want to run Sunflower Mine on the 6th of March? I would like to keep this group relatively small as the trail is tight and we most likely will have to turn around after the rock garden since the trail gets next to no maintenance and has seen some extensive erosion after the fire and was too narrow the last time to squeeze a stock width Tacoma through without getting sketchy

Trail is a 4/5, excessively rocky and tight and will most likely be wet with some flowing creek crossings if the snow melt is good.

I'm not going to post requirements beyond being a lifted 4x4 since I did it on 33s with no locker but be prepared for body damage if you don't have skids and sliders. I may go up the night before and camp down in the creek bed if we wanted to do that as there are a ton of great camp spots down there.

(Max 7 trucks)
4x4 only
3" Lift
Good Tires (33s or Bigger encouraged)
Good Spare (Someone will probably get a flat)
Tow Strap

Recommended Stuff
Sliders and Skids
Bumpers
2M Radio
Camera
Jack
Tire Patch Kit

I'll post pictures and more details later.

Pics from last march

 

Interested

 

sub'd

 

Cliff, is this the trail you ran with Alex a while back?

 

yea

 

just posted a bunch of pics from the last time we went out there which was last march

 

That looks like such a sweet trail wish I had skids and better tires.

 

Wow, I suck at posting pics #fail

 

I'm in, unless you think 31's just won't cut it

 

Damn I've wanted to do this trail for a while now..

 

Went and ran this trail today. Did the whole trail, the errosion is pretty bad once you get out of the creek past the mine. I will have to agree to not taking a 2nd gen that way, or any vehicle that you care about really, it's pretty bad. Damage report: added tons of new gouges and scratches to skids and sliders, poked a hole in my Flowmaster, major denting of my driver bedside, also had a rouge tree branch poke a hole in my headrest.

Overgrown, hardly room to walk thru

Washedout section of the trail


Obligatory truck pic

 

looks pretty much like it did last time we went up there

 

I would like to go. What time are you thinking of starting?

 

sorry guys but I'm going to have to postpone this trip. I started on Moab prep tonight and I got a little carried away...now my truck doesn't have an interior

 

Text me when you re-schedule man. If I happen to get Gypsy trail worthy by then and have the day off.... Been on the list I wanna do for awhile.

 

it will be soon! ive been busting ass on the interior, dynamat is done, just need to go pickup some marine carpet and paint the cage. I dont mind riding along and spotting either
