How was it on the trail??

I just got my runner so I went in 100% stock and on pretty bald highway tires (my suspension and tires go on next weekend). It was pretty rough. I consider myself to be a pretty good offroad driver from offroading my Ranger, this had a couple of pretty difficult obstacles.
Lucky for me I went with a couple of guys with pretty heavily modified tacos, (they got stuck a coupe of times as well). I needed to use the tow strap once (bald tires), used spotters 3 times and had to stack some rocks 2 times for clearence.
Overall, I shredded one of my tires (which were on the way out anyway), took some chunks out of the others, and took a couple of dingers on the skids and step sides (being replaced by sliders soon so I didn't care as long as I didn't slam). One of the tacos blew his CV boot, but the angle was way too gnarly to begin with. If you go, definitely go with a well equipped crew/recovery gear, the trail is worth it. Just don't blast through it.
10/10 doing it again when I get the suspension, tires and sliders on in a couple of weeks.
