Even if it was 2 lanes I don't think I would go on it!

That's how narrow Black Bear Pass used to be.

So, you're saying it's not that narrow anymore? Or narrower?

It's more than wide enough now

In the link I posted earlier there are big H1 Hummers going through. A kj will not have any issue.

Wasn't it Corwyn who posted a story about going on this trail in a full size pick up? I seem to remember him posting that the turns were so tight he actually had to alternate driving forward and reverse down the switchbacks because he couldn't make the turns.

I just might have to test and see how the roll stability program works :shock:

calls insurance to see if it is ok to go... ... ... yeah no, not covered under insurance or AAA for recovery :twisted:

RAYMAN, you need to get you and your posse together in Ohio and caravan out to Ouray.

Has anyone on the LOST BOARD run this trail in a KJ? Supposedly a winch and lockers are advised? :roll:

I've run it 7 times now in mine with no trouble... KSKJ was with me for one of them.

What do you really need to run this trail? Obviously weather conditions make a difference, but would you say that a 2” lift and skids would suffice? Maybe we should move this thread to the LOST SAFARI section. :lol:

Two inch lift and skids would work no problem . And good brakes :lol:

The trick is you put her in the drivers seat. She loves it, or She wrecks and you can blame her, or you collect the Life Insurance check. But I promise it will be one of those three.

I'll have room you can ride with me.
