It depends on the trail.
Like Pritchett Canyon for example:
Front AND rear lockers required.
Minimum 35" tires
Low gears and winch HIGHLY reccommended
I Agree, and you are going to need the winch to get up that eight foot cliff (The Rock pile or something like that) right in the middle of the trail. I rode in Blue Dodge's vehicle last year when they were running it, and it was very intense, but still a blast. And I admit it. There was one section that I walked instead of riding.
For most other trails in the 4 range, the following is reccommended:
Rear traction aid, locker preferred, but a LSD will work
Some lift to accomodate slightly larger tires 31-33
Rocker protection
Those are minimum guidelines, and are up to the individual trail leader, and trailmasters whether or not you have:
A) Proper equipment
B) Sufficient experience
C) Trail availability
Hopefully that helps to clear up some of the issues.
Last year they had something posted to the affect of if you don't have at least 31" tires and a rear locker (LSD acceptable) (Possibly a lift required as well) then you can't run a 4 rated trail without the trail leaders approval.
I want to know if a VX with a 3" lift, rocker protection, and 31" Boggers is good enough equipment to run Poison Spider Mesa without having to get special approval from the trail leader.
And if it does require trail leader approval, is there a page with their email addresses?
I'm sure that if they are a trail leader then they are active on the wire.
Anyone know who Jeff Bathke is or what his handle might be.
