Trail Requirements

[duneburner]

I see that some of the trails don't have any requirements listed. Whats the deal? I plan on signing up but only been to Means Dry Lake twice. Once last Thanksgiving (To check it out) and the last time to watch KOH. Only been on easy stuff. I do have a fairly capable 1980 toyota, 36" IROK's, dual cases, locked front and rear, winch ....I'm not afraid to hit a challenging though. Been offroading for over 30 years but new to rock crawling. someone point me in the right direction!

Sounds like your rig will handle most of anything out there, but if you have only been once then you should hit the obvious, SledgeHammer, JackHammer, ClawHammer. Jamboree weekend, especially Saturday is not a real good weekend to run alot of trail, because there are usually quite a few rigs on each trail.

Get there early, Friday if possible, run something close to camp, to get use to the area and figure out where you are and just how long of a walk it is back to camp if you break.

Chocalate Thunder is a good warm up, close, trail, so are Lower and Upper Big Johnson, they are just a little further out. Do yourself a favor, don't unload and head right over to BackDoor and destroy your rig for the entire weekend.

If you are new to rockcrawling I would stick to one of the 35"+ tire size trails. You are less likely to break on one of those. Claw Hammer is a good trail for the first timer.

Do you have 4.7's in the rear case? What lockers/gears are you running? Are you running stock birfields? How do you feel about body damage? These answers will help in pointing you toward the right trail.

I have 5.29 gears, welded rear, detroit front, 4.7 in rear case, longs for front axles and an exo. not too worried about some body damage I already have some but not too much. I have been on my side once before the exo. I do plan on getting there on friday. my main concern is my tire size. I will probably do one of the 35"+ tire size trails first. Witch one is favorite?

If you run a couple of the easier trails on Friday, then decide you want more challenge, we can always change the trail your on to something more difficult Friday late afternoon.
