I've heard of this trail for a number of years. What is the rig setup for the best chance of success??

It's more difficult then strawberry. Tom, you could make it with spotting. The trail is fairly easy except for a water fall section. Winches work well for this section.

Um...what?

Winch is in my future for sure. So are rear lockers but they are waiting until next year.

My stats on this trail for you reference.
Year 1 - ran trail with 33 BFG and 3.5 inches of lift. Had to winch out in one spot.
Year 2 - ran trail with 35 MTR, 4.5 inches of lift and a rear locker. Had to back up and correct departure lines several times.
Minor body damage and scratches both years. The trail modified my muffler. Made it more compact 🙂

It is a fun little trail. It will test your rig in a few select spots.

As it sits now, I'm at 6-1/2" front and 7-1/2" rear on 33" Toyos which run pretty true to size. Rear has Trac-Lok.

I might just give it a try.

This was my first non snow real trail run with the club last year and I had a blast.
I remember after Huck and Brad went ahead down to the water and I was the new guy at the top of the decent and everyone was questioning weather it was a good idea to go or not. I said I'll give it a try and from some of the looks I got I felt as though some of you were saying who is this crazy new guy.

This one is going on the calendar for me - I recommend it Tom and think you will be fine

This is a good moderate run. There was one challenging section, that is very difficult without at least one locker. We strapped an open TJ up the waterfall but still made it.
