It’s a tight trail with a lot of tight trees and rocks. A full size rig would be pretty tough in some sections but @Tetten had his 2nd gen Tacoma with 2”+ long travel and he made it through. A wider body would have made it tougher.
Sweet! We’ll have to do it prior to those dates then.
Interested to see how Swamp Lake compares you Dusy
Darn, in that middle spot of not worth squeezing and beating up the tow rig or anything else streetable I’ll still have, but logistically annoying for the buggy.Swamp was fun and very technical. All of the fun stuff was done at night, was a 18+ hour ordeal because it turned into a recovery taking turns daisy-chaining a broke FJC from Chicken Rock or whatever it's called out to the end of the trail.
You’ll probably have more fun in the buggy. The Power Wagon is going to probably be too large to have a good time. Body damage is very likely on a rig that size. Just bring the buggy. It’ll be worth it!
Damn what a clusterfuck
We'll put you on the 33% dropout list.
With 18 hours towing probably everything.lmao
Rear ring & pinion, it was so loud when it broke that it literately made the whole valley echo.
Impressive
It was a great time and everyone worked well together except for a dude named Ed who had a mental breakdown and completely shutdown on the trail and walked away from his rig. He was useless for the rest of the trail and offered no help at all. We all had to take turns driving his own rig out. That was the cluster fuck.
Was there something about this on Facebook a while back?
yup, couldn't handle the trail as it got more technical and we haven't even got to the fun stuff yet. He got out of his rig and started walking back to the trail head, and that was that to say the least. This dude was also Vice Pres. of the TTORA SoCal chapter at the time.
probably not, this was back in July 2009.
