The shadowman with the tj only drove up half of the trail just to let you know he has never been down the other side. But yes stockers should be fine. The might have to give a little more go pedal if they have stock tires. But this trail should make them get new tires lol.

Does that mean that we SHOULD expect tire damage, or only that they'll wish they had better tires if they're running stockers? Just want to know what to expect (and prepare for). Thanks!

I think it's a traction thing. Whenever you introduce stock tires to mud you begin to realize why everyone switches out thier tires first.

I can help you with that.

go to http://keepvid.com/ and cut and paste the link. Then click download and the next screen you will see a place to download it. It downloads as .flv so I hope you have a player for that extension. I use a codec for windows movie.

MJS its more of a traction issue than anything else, not alot of sharp rocks that are going to be a problem. Just want to let everyone know that this trail has some tough spots if you take the wrong line you might roll. I almost rolled the fj along with jeeping almost rolled his jeep.
