We're talking to the FJTT to see if a truck or two can come play with us. This is an adventure run, but several of us will be on the hunt for some challenging sidetrails, which would be optional, of course.
We will try and rate trail difficulty according to the following standards:
Level 0: Open roads, highways, Well maintained gravel roads. You can run these trails in Grandma's station wagon. In fact, your Grandma could run these trails quite well.
Level 1: Gravel/dirt roads with some minor ruts and dips. You will probably not even use 4-wheel-drive on these roads.
Level 2: Gravel/dirt roads. You might run into a few minor mud puddles but nothing noteworthy. Some moderately steep climbs. You may use 4-hi on these trails from time to time.
For levels 3-5 and above we will rate in increments such as 3.4, or a 4.7, or a 5.3 and state exactly what can be expected.
Level 3: Steep climbs, slippery mud, rocks will be met on a regular basis. You'll hit 4-low often and some of the trails will be fairly technical. You may have to spotted in a few areas. Airing down is a must on level 3 and above..
Level 4: Very steep climbs. Expect very tight, very technical trails. A modified vehicle is recommended for this level and above. Some minor damage can occur. All safety and recovery gear is required for level 4 and above. Spare parts recommended. A good, complete set of tools is required.
Level 5: An extremely modified vehicle is required for even attempting this level. Level 5 and above trails are for extreme 4-wheelers and professional drivers. Safety and recovery gear for this level trails are not even listed on the site. We're talking Baja 1000, The Rubicon Trail, extreme rock crawling and harder for this level and above. It is not likely any of us will ever run a level 5 trail or higher.
NWFJCC Pinstripe Ratings
We're all driving $25K-$35K vehicles or more, depending on mods, so we do understand that some folks are not real keen on pinstripes on their beloved FJ Cruisers. Some could care less whether they can be "buffed out" or not as they are not car detailers and don't want to start. So, we will rate our trails according to the following standards:
Level 0: The only way you can get striped on this level of trail is to purposely drive into a tree, bush or to pick up a rock and throw it at your FJ. You will be more likely to get a door-ding at the mall than to get striped on this level of trail.
Level 1: A minor stripe may be possible, but avoidable.
Level 2: Minor stripes likely. Some will be unavoidable. These stripes are nothing to cry about and very easily buffed out by hand.
Level 3: You will get a stripe or two or three. Most can be buffed by hand, but you will likely receive some stripes that will require a buffer. If climbing through large rocks some minor wheel damage could occur.
Level 4: Break out the buffer! Also, at this level trail you may experience slider scrapes, skidplate scrapes and bangs and wheel dings and scrapes.
Level 5: Possibilities of vehicle damage are very high. The NWFJCC is not likely to be running level 5 trails.
It is very unlikely you will need recovery gear for this adventure run. It will not be an issue if you have none. We will never, ever leave anyone stranded. However, if someone does have to recover you, you are responsible for any damage/breakage to their gear.
Please come and join us. This will be a very laid-back run.
