My 2 cents....Since many have expressed desire (like Mark just did), to go on some easier trails, I suggest LA SAL MOUNTAIN. That was very pleasant, and since it was at elevation, and had trees, it was a bit cooler, which is always welcome when it's 90+ in Moab. Or 7 MILE RIM, that trail was also very mild and extremely scenic! The group hasn't gone on either of these for about 3 years.
Even some of the "easier" trails have one or two obstacles that can cause scrapping.
These are all taken on Fins&Things and HellsRevenge. both considered VERY doable for stock VXs.
It's pretty hard to get down these 2 slides w/o scrapping the front lower cladding, at my stock height + slightly bigger tires, because you end up sliding down it, even with full brakes. I've scraped every time (done it like 5 times now).
Dave is lifted and didn't scrape.
SIDE VIEW
DAVE DIDN'T SCRAPE AT ALL
OTHER CHALLENGING OBSTACLE FOR STOCK:
VT_MAVERICK COMING DOWN IT -CAN'T RECALL IF HE SCRAPPED OR NOT
DAVE SCRAPPED THE HECK OUT OF HIS HITCH COMING DOWN, BUT HE HAS A MUCH LONGER WHEELBASE.
I HAD MY 18" SUPERBUMPER ON AND IT SCRAPPED BADLY COMING DOWN THIS EVEN AT A SHARP ANGLE. ACTUALLY TILTED ENTIRE HITCH UPWARD A TAD. DO NOT USE SUPERBUMPER ON THIS OBSTACLE.
