i was stuck behind 'em on the road out for at least an hour - he thought it was fuel but im not so sure.

eventually they got the brakes unlocked (no air in his tanks) & a tractor pulled him to the side of the road so everyone could get by....just curious & would like to talk to him (didnt get his name).

Got under the jeep today to check a few things and inspect the brakes. Found a LOT more rock scrapes and minor damage than originally anticipated. Nothing major. Few on driveshaft, control arms and pulled the boot on front driveshaft. Other than that, thank goodness for skid plates!!!

Sucks I missed this trip the pics look awesome. Every time I plan on going something comes up. I hope to go sometime soon, the only thing is it will come up unexpectedly and random but on a weekend. So if anyone is ready to just get up and go lets know. Maybe end of febuary or march 9th for my bday.

The pictures and videos look awesome. How often do guys go to Hidden Falls, and do you think I could hang with a stock rubi?

It comes to a clearance issue there, more than a locker issue. I'm wide open and have done most of them. There are different types of trails, not just bare rock. If you aren't scared of using the skids and a little tire bounce, let the good times roll!!!

Have open diff and stock lsd in rears, I agree clearance and keeping all four on the ground is what your gunna want if your not fully locked, that means a good suspension system with enough travel to keep tires out of the air. My jeep with 35s and 4" lift can do all the level 3-4. But it seems as I get more comfotable the more I want to try something more challenging. Eventually you will know when its time to get locked but till then go wheel that chit bro!
