Those rocks tell a different story.....just kiddin'.....
If it's Fins & Things, it' STILL a great first trail. This pic is from either Fins or Hell's Revenge.
Since I have my "sacrificial" 18" Superbumper now, which sticks out about 12" from the rear cladding (specifically to save my tail end!), I'm reviewing/evaluating my old pics so I know what I can expect, etc...
I'm sure those scrapes were made by longer wheelbase trucks like Jay's FJ or my Hubby's FJ here, prolly the trailer hitch does a lot of that. I recall hubby's scraped it good! and IIRC you do a real good face plant into that sand at the bottom and ya have to kinda power out of it...am I recalling it right?.

Sue, I think that is Fins and Things. It is a pretty good first trail. Good pucker factor and shows off the capabilities of the VX well. It starts out easy enough, unlike Hell's Revenge, so new drivers can gain confidence.

Hells Revenge is no harder as long as you stay off the optional stuff (no fun).

Even though I voted for elephant Hill....
..I am now leaning towards Fins & Things.

Its easily do-able for non modified vehicles.
Has a couple of 'pucker' points....
And some optional Gnarly stuff...for some spectator fun.
Plus...its close.
Just my 2 cents..

I voted for Gold Bar Rim .
I'm also leaning towards Fins & Things for the same reasons that Joe posted.

definately looks like fins to me Sue. Those scrapes are from long wheel base vehicles like hummers, 4runners, troopers, maybe an FJ. Those types of scrapes usually come from trailer hitces.I'm sure those scrapes were made by longer wheelbase trucks like Jay's FJ or my Hubby's FJ here, prolly the trailer hitch does a lot of that. I recall hubby's scraped it good! and IIRC you do a real good face plant into that sand at the bottom and ya have to kinda power out of it
Sounds like the group is feeling fins and things. If by some chance of god i can make it im excited...if not, ill see you guys just after you break the newbs in

SO.....
Fins & Things....
....if I read this thread right, that seems like a consensus.
Its a great "starter" trail..close, fun, and VERY doable by ALL.
And some (
...just cause!
I wish it was May 12th already...
If all goes well..I will be SINGLE (
...thats the best way to start a new phase of life.
