Nice Pics! I haven't been up to Corbett in a few years. I imagine for the guys who went up today it was a real mud fest with all the rain we had in the last week.

If you have any pics from today I would love to see them, I have been meaning to take a ride up there!

Where is that, off 3 and tomato? Did you all check out trail 6? My buddy with a 2wd 97 chevy 1500 wants to go out so i figured 6 is all sand so should be easier for him.

Also how did that not hydrolock in that first pic. Wow Any more pics?

Yea that was off tomato. I don't have a pics but If you go to my YouTube Channel you can see a few videos from Sunday. We had 6 jeeps and 2 pick up truck out there. It was fun. Trail 6 was totally dry. Just soft sand nothing to really do so we hit up tomato.
Heres a link to my channel:

Awesome vids. Subscribed. Looked like a hell of a lot of fun. Unfortunately with my stock ride I don't aim as much for the massive mud holes. More of slow trail driving but i'll get to the level of you all some day Priority is tires right now. Stock ones suck. My goal before the summer rain will be to get all the way across trail 7. Told it can take a day if made through at all. I started it the other weekend but ran out of time. So far it isdry enough that I could make it through with only a bit of water coming in with doors off if I take my time and plan ahead. Problem out there is some areas are barely wide enough to go through let alone turn around. Could get 1/2 way or more then hit a lake.

I'm actually pretty much stock. All i have is a budget boost lift with wheel spacers and a winch, but stock rubicon wheels and tires (with 24000 miles on em). You should have been fine out where we were. Getting through trail 7 you should add another winch to the back of your jeep

Always liked the idea of a rear winch but a bit costly I also need to get all the way through 3 at some point. I've gone 1/2 way down 3 from the tomato end, and then 1/2 way down 3 starting at the other end so total i've completed it but never in 1 shot.

But I don't know if you would have made it through all that deep soft sand with stock tires and you would have for sure got stuck in that deep mud hole.

Sunday- well it hasn't rained any and it was looking kinda dry last weekend man so I think im gonna have to pass. If you get a group together maybe I'll join just don't think there is much out there unless you are hitting other trails meaning not 6 or tomato.
