O.K. trip was much needed,and really fun. click on img. and should start a slide show.If I did everything right. As the book described it is difficult. the KJ's should not run this trail w/o lots of underside protection,winch,and other goodies. The book is accurate to obstacle locations as well. Out of 6.6 miles the K.J. could do 6.0 easy but the hard parts are very hard. The rock Garden at 3.0 miles is steep and very tippy, and only 2 /10ths of a mile long. I tried to run the trail w/o lockers but i used them both there. The rest of trail did w/o lockers. For the most part there are bypasses to each obstacle. the ones w/o bypass' we would have to drag KJ's over. It was 3 to 3 1/2 hrs of pure GOOD TIMES, with a swb well lifted vehicle. It would for sure be longer for KJ's.

Trail looks sweet. Not sure I want to get dragged over 2/10 of a mile though.:lol: Man I need lockers. Unless we get a good number like we did for Strawberry, then I'd hate to be the only KJ and slow everything down big time. But if we got a good group that wanted to run this and slick rock on different days then I'd give it a go.

So Ken, since we've never met, I see you have a bada-- TJ, do you also have a KJ that is decked out? If so which will you be running the trails with?

06, if you wanna give this a go and are ready with skids and rock rails, I'm game. Poor Ken is going to have to drag us. :lol:

Due to the lovely price of gasoline these days, I will most likely run TJ. My KJ needs way more protection. I've been waiting for the rear kimodo bumper from Marty since Nov. last year. And I am needin to get off my rear and make rails. Just lazy! Oh ya and need super skid too. Just Empty Every Pocket. But ultimately I would like to straight axle it with a 4" long arm and 35's.

I'd rather build up an LJ or maybe do a BRUTE before I'd do a SFA KJ.

Well Ken, at least we know the TJ will be able to go over everything and help us when we run into a tough spot.
and if you ever need to get rid of that TJ to pay for the SFA swap, let me know :wink:
