    Most of the trail is quite easy, there are only a couple of difficult spots. Go to post 56 here http://vehicross.info/forums/showthr...t=17321&page=4 for pictures of the more difficult spots.

    I don't see any problem getting a stock VX up those obstacles unscathed with someone spotting.

    Should be no problem getting a stock VX through there. I didnt scrape on anything when I did it last year. I will probably have the most trouble, mainly with the few ledges on the way out, because of my long wheel base and long overhangs. I hit a couple of them a bit too hard last year and think I broke my shock then. But I was alone (yes, I know) at about 6pm with nobody else on the trail and didnt want to chance getting stuck there so I wanted some momentum. The trail is rated 4 out of 10 which is the same rating as Dome Plateau (not including Again and Again Hill) and Fins N Things. I think the worst that will happen is you might lift a rear tire.

    More likely a front tire, but probably not even that.

    I lifted my rear tire a couple times coming off some of the ledges that I didnt get out and spot first. At least with the locker i was able to easily back up then check it out. A couple of them could have gotten ugly if I had just kept going.

    Was looking through the book to see what else is around there since its a short trail and may not take very long. Only other ones are Delores river overlook which is pretty much just dirt road all the way, and Rose Garden Hill which I'm not sure is a good idea lol.

    Rose Garden may be doable on the downhill but as you said, maybe not a good idea... unless you go by yourself around 6 pm!

    Yeah, but 3-link Troopers (and VXs for that matter) have more rear travel than 4-link Rodeos...if I lift a rear tire I usually am perilously close to Trouble...or crossing the Golden Crack.

    Guess we could go look at Fisher Tower. Or take the La Sal Mountain loop back to Moab (scenic, but all pavement).

    If I remember my dog translation correctly, he would be saying...

    Thanks Tom. Yep, that's the 'back yard' at my new house. There are some incredible views from this place. I don't think I can ever leave now.

    Max (the pup) is obsessed with the VX for some reason. It's kinda crazy actually. When he gets super hyper and starts annoying us, I just go outside and open the VX. He jumps right up in and calms down instantly. He'll sit in there for hours and is perfectly content. Weird...

    I should have got some video footage of him trying to jump up in the drivers side with it up in the air... he was so upset that he couldn't jump high enough! He's definitely making the trip to Moab.
