    Peligreen doesn’t count. :D That was a flat, easy, brushy trail.

    I’d run Poker with it on. Then remove it the next trip so you can see the difference.

    Poker is not too bad. Warren ran it last year with his sway bar on.

    RCI engine skid arrives Friday (Memorial Day sale :thumbsup:).Wanted the 295/70's but they would not fit my current setup - unfortunately this will need to wait until I can upgrade the suspension and get new UACs. I will start looking for sliders (don't mind the cost of the slider - just the cost of the shipping). Until then, I need the steps for daily use so the kids can climb in but it only takes a few minutes to take the steps off.

    It is starting to sound like my current set up would only be sufficient for hauling the cold beer to the end of the trail for when ya'll are done. :p

    gonna be a tight trail in a Tundra! I've ran it through in my 4runner, broke trail with a group last spring. Cleared about 50 trees from the trail :eek:

    Which is a worthwhile endeavor that will be much appreciated by your new friends. :thumbsup:
    Yeah. All but the newest of these NorCal guys know @joonbug is a BASTRD and a liar; the guy makes all kinds of promises but really he collects money from the state to clear out forresty trails. He gets paid for work he can verify. It's not possible to provide adequate photo evidence (no before pics of each section) so his contract specifies he'll be paid for all trails marked on both sides with soft Tundra paint. :D

    Had sway bars. I sold the rear and the front is now an art piece on the chicken coop. Everyone's different and uses their truck differently. I'm trying to make mine sort of off road oriented.

    down and across the creek and all the way through after the Flat?

    Edit... OK watched the vid clip there that you added. Looks like a lot of people went through after us. Creek completely swallowed our 35's when we went from all the runoff and the lower of the uphill part after the creek was basically a creek as well from a blocked culvert. Muddy, washed out, and TONS of trees. LOL.

    We went in perfect conditions. What time of the year did you go? I’m curious what kind of conditions it is right now.

    First half is easy like Peligreen minus the stripes. The view on top of the lookout tower is awesome. The drop into Poker is weaving through some trees. River crossing is easy but fun. The climb up is challenging but nothing technical. After the climb it’s fairly flat and higher speed. Not as fun and difficult as Barney Riley but definitely better than Peligreen. I’m bringing my pistol to shoot during lunch too.

    Joonbug, after seeing your last trip and that "pin stripping" I saw, you scared me! Is this a 1 day trip or over nighter? I am interested...

    Leaving early Sunday morning and coming back late Sunday night. We ran this trail last year, pinstriping wasn’t bad from what I remember. Actually one of the least striping trails we ran. But bushes grow so you never know. If you’re going to come out with us, this is the trail you want to come on.

    Yeah about 3.5 hours from Dublin. We’ll meet in Dublin around 6:30am. Truck limit is so we don’t drive too slow, lower chance of a breakdown, and also there’s limited parking at the lookout tower. I’ll put you as a yes for now. Like I said, if you’re ever going to come out with us, this is the one you want to go on. It’s a really good trail. Don’t wuss out. o_O

    Yeah! Come out and play D. More trucks can make the trip a LOT slower that's the main reason for limiting. It can be hard to communicate with the radios from the front to back of the line unless you've got an external antenna..... I don't............ yet.
