I haven't gone at all last year. In fact, the truck never left the city.

Would a stock height truck make it through the trails? It has 265/70-17's AT's...

Yeah there is a ton of trails to rip around at stock height....mclean opens up may 1st and I plan on checking going to check it out opening weekend if you want to come.

I won't be able to make the May 19th as I have to volunteer, but the first May weekend would work. It probably be pretty muddy?

It'll be muddy but not as bad as previous opening weekends if you've been in the past. I've been on ATV out there for the last few weekends and although there's a fair amount of water on those trails, it's not nearly as much as in years past with the lack of snow melt.

There are roads/trails that a stock height frontier could tackle. The trails that are a little more intense also have less width and you'll be risking scratches. I've heard waiparous is much better in this sense.

I'd also be interested in a run although my stock long trail tires have lost significant traction recently (now at about 15K kms).

It would be a good idea to do the rear diff breather mod I just picked up the parts last weekend and it came to under 30 bucks. Im sure kfrizz on the newx (and possibly a few others) will be down for messing around and checking out the conditions. With winches, hilifts, and recovery straps we shouldnt have any issues.

I got the rear diff breather mod done since it started leaking and dealership covered it.

I will definitely come out. May 5th? Also have a buddy with a Xterra that would too.

I got a ton of boulders in backyard and I was thinking of dumping them in the mountains. You think that would be okay?

I don't see any issue with it as long as there not dumped on any of the trails.

I'll be heading to the mclean store on sunday for 11 if anyone wants to join.
