Yea, wasn't really clear that I was joking. Not a whole lot of minivans out there on weekday afternoons I bet. 
On a serious note, though... it would be cool to head out there with some FJs on a weekday or something when you are essentially guaranteed not to run into anybody. That way you could spend literally as much time as you'd like per obstacle to fail repeatedly, blow up, do time-consuming recoveries, etc.. and not have to worry about tying up the trail. |
I do NOT recommend that. Frankly, this trail's obstacles are well beyond the capability of most FJ Cruisers. I know you are seeing pics of Jeeps on 33's doing this trail, but what you're not seeing is the clearance difference between them and the FJ as well as f/r lockers and 4:1 tcase gears.
As I mentioned, I think Jon's (BellyDoc's) Cruiser could make this trail with some work and by taking some bypasses....but a locker up front would be mighty handy and you need clearance under your rockers and the FJ just sits too low to the ground and is too heavy to clear some of the notches you have to traverse to get up this trail. Granted, you could rock stack enough to get through, but it would require hours of work and hours more unstacking to return the trail to the pre-run condition.
It's rated approximately the same as Martinez Canyon, but from what I witnessed on Friday, I'd say the obstacles are harder and even the bypasses are more difficult. Knowing what it took to get Uphill's FJ through Martinez, I can't imagine trying to push 1 let alone several FJs through this trail.
Just my honest assessment (though if you try, I'd love to watch
).
