    We will just have to look around, most trail classes never match the trails at most parks.
    I have also spent over 2 hours on a 1/2 mile trail at Windrock so maybe we can find enough to do, Choccolocco and TNF are not far away.

    yeah I know, I'm going simply off the website. it could be completely different. I'm not saying I won't ride some trails, but my main plan is camping and getting a great experience watching the buggy/jeep/whatever else play around. anytime you go to SRRS they have so much safety crap in place you don't get good views and there are too many people. Hopefully John and I can get some good footage/photos for these guys.

    because it's 36" offroad tires or larger and 4 point roll cage vehicles. that's why.

    Oh, OK, I bet if they help in those situations they would really help in less extreme situations?

    yeah, they would, just like 36" offroad tires and 4 point roll cages would help in less extreme situations too.

    @stronghammer @JBTacoma I bet you guys have done trails rated higher than your trucks before.. I'm willing to bet there's more areas even in those more extreme trails you can do and in the worst areas more than likely someone has cut a work around.

    But a roll cage only helps if you roll over and taller tires only help if you encounter a rock a inch to a inch and a half taller than the rest of the crew can roll over, right.

    I’m going to do what I can. If I flop I’m ok with that...I’m not ok with rolling without a cage. Rather live to see another day. I’m sure it’s going to rain like it always does on our trips.
