Yeah, but he was making his own ruts; not following in someone's "footsteps".

Ahem...I almost always make my own ruts.

That little spot is fun, and easy to spin through, but almost impossible to exit in the direction youre going here....the other way is wayyyy easier. I ran right through it last time.

How much of Barnwell Mtn can be done with a stock X? I would love to go check it out, but have never been, and didn't want to get in over my head. I'm going to put some tires on before too long, but it'll probably be a while before I can do much of anything else. I plan on a winch, lights, some sliders, and front & rear bumpers eventually, but like I said, it'll probably be a while on those.

jason,
the first time we ever went out there every one us in our group had nothing but stock parts..didn't air down and didnt even disconnect our sway bars and we made it out of every trail we went on just fine....granted we didnt do anything more than a 2 and maybe a light rated 3 on that run, but either way we went and had a blast..it was a great learning experience...so to answer your question, there's plenty of terrain out there for stock rigs to hit and to be a bit challenging as well.....next run try to make it and we'd be happy to have you..and all the trails pretty much run together and intertwine with others so if part of the group hits harder trails and some stay on some lighter terrain, it's no problem at all to meet back up with the group...i believe there's somewhere around 148-150 miles worth of trails out there

Besides, that's why you go with a group.
You try what you think you can't do, and if ya get stuck a bit, one of the others can snatch you out.
