Not really. I'm not going with just Serge since no one else will. And a Civic has more ground clearance than I do :)

Wise man, but I have a Civic and I think you have it beat! I wouldn't do John Bull in perfect weather but in the snow, only for a million $ US. For $1 million I'd winch it through!

Didn't forget him but couldn't remember if it was that trip. Not sure what that guy was on but it obviously was a mind bender.

Yeah it was that Trip, Bill Wu was with us on that one, his friends truck was the one that punctured 3 tires and they all had security nuts, fortunately we had enough spare lugnuts and 18mm sockets kicking around to sacrifice to get them off.

After the trip that wagon owner brought 2 new sets of wheels with MT/R's.

I bumped into Trail Gnome again last year in Big Bear downtown, never said a peep or reacted to the Hummers that time so I guess he was off his meds that day.

Longest trip ever for me. Got home 23 hours after I left. Some good times though with conversation. Remember Anthony asking you if you can run. Funny! When the bear comes

Have seen the gnome a few times down BB Blvd. had the dogs every time otherwise might have done us good. The jeeps set him off before us. Williams buddy didn't help the situation at all. That's when it got heated.

What are the min requirements for this trail? I've got a couple buddies that I may mention this to but i'm not sure if their rigs are up to par...then again I've only got 35's, 2in lift and Rock Rails :)

There are some pretty rocky spots where I have used my rock rails. I have taken these trails on 33" tires but used my UCP quite a bit.

You are just about the same wheelbase as my H3 but I have a lot more junk hanging down so I tend to hang-up easier. Use your own discretion based on what you have seen an H3 do.

I texted Dana60 H3 unfortunately hes working. I also shot out some texts to some jeep buddies but so far they all have prior commitments. It will probably be a small group but thats ok with me.

After hearing about the last few adventures up GM, I think a small group would be nice.

Come on Craig, there's nothing like being stuck on the trail with about 10 rigs trying to figure out how we're getting Hamster through it.

Hamster cant get stuck after its built up. An H1 might even struggle pulling it out seeing it weighs in at over 8300 lbs with an empty tank of gas. Thats also not including the heavier axles, heavier t case, and bigger/heavier tires.

It can still break though. Might take three of us strapped together to pull it now

Probably my misunderstanding, I thought HBR would be in the plan if we had a track to follow.

I got where you thought that. Through the pm's with lil presidente. Had to re read this whole thread then he refreshed me. My misunderstanding too. Must be Moab blues

Damn, sorry to hear Rob.

Craig, if the group is small and if Bspec can run with us or give us the tracks we can do HBR.

Alright gents...so for what I'm reading this trail seems a bit tougher...you guys think I'd be ok since I have no ucp nor slider...my only concern is hitting my TC On some rock And F it up which although it wouldn't be good it wouldn't be the end of the world since I still have my warranty...anyways, you guys honestly think I can make it on this trails... I don't really mind if my bottom side plastic get scratch or what not but as I mention my only concern is my TC since it is vulnerable.

I was lucky to not trash my TC on lesser trails. Came home from a trail to see my TC dented from contact. Why I have my full skid now. My second mod after rock rails.

Depends on what we do I have never ran heartbreak ridge so I wouldnt know. Gold mtn if we put you on bypasses you should be ok but I havent run it in a while. Wish I pulled off the t case skid I made for kyle when he totaled the 3. If I have some spare steel plate I can make one for you. It wouldnt be perfect but if you take the 3 bolts off put on the plate you would most definitely be good for the day but then when you get home you gotta drill holes in the other crossmember to hold up the other end if that makes sense.
