    you are gonna need a front bumper or youre gonna loose some plastick on white knuckle. 6' drop is what the book says it is depending on wether or not people hav stacked rocks there.

    This might give a bit of an idea of the height of White Knuckle. This guys is 5'11" and from the angle it's hard to tell but his head is still lower than the top and he's on his tippy toes

    I can't watch that video.until I get home.in a couple.days, but It doesnt look like it would be too bad as long as your front and rear are armored and you could creep off of it. If it involves mostly falling off of.it then yes I.would be out... haha

    Sorry to say it is mostly "falling off of it". Tough to creep down it. The front tires just can't hold traction very well once they start to go down.

    White Knuckle isn't really that bad if you have a strap on the rear of the truck to keep it from going over. Yeah you'll hit your bumpers, and maybe drag your skids but you won't die (most likely). With a Tacoma you will drag your rear bumper pretty hard coming down. With my 80, I even pulled my spare tire off before I went down (and it has a better departure angle than a Tacoma). Glad I did because the 6'5" guy went after me and left his spare on. It dragged hard enough that it pushed the swingout into his tailgate.

    This is him going down. I'll look through my photos, I think I have one of his spare tire dragging.

    Bottom line is if you have a rear bumper you don't mind dragging, and some skidplates and/or sliders in case you drag the belly you'll be fine and it's a fun obstacle.

    I'm not sure what trails I'm gonna run yet. And to be honest there are several I'd rather do than Behind the Rocks. I think I'm still planning to lead the Trifecta one day if Jace and Bob need it. Other than that its up in the air.

    Thinking about Moab Rim, and I could lead that one. I'm also thinking hard about Elephant Hill but that's a long day.
