Me and couple my friends gone last weekend to hit some trails up North of Toronto. This was great day and we ended up by having good time. 1.5 hour driving to the trail from Toronto worth every penny spend on gas.
At the begining it was regular trail:

This one is a mudhole ~40" deep !! But we made it through...

Road under water ~1':

Another water covered part of the trail:

At the end we had to cross the lake. It was ~35" deep.

Right in the midle of watercrossing there was some sort of submerge island marked with two poles. Those poles help to mainain right direction:

Mark and his 3" lifted 4th Gen crossing the lake:

I'm jealous! But I think i may need a lift before I try those trails. I should have gone muddin with you instead of fishing!

Just a question for Mark, do you have a lift only with the stock tires? How did you hold up? I'm thinking of lifting the front and pulling the fuse on the rear. If anyone has any thoughts, by all means....

Thanks for the pics though!

I think I can answer for Mark.
He has '05 Limited with standard airbags on the rear and Daystar 2.5" spacers on front. I have 2" Cornfed spacer on front and 1" on the rear. We both runs 265/70-R17 tires. I just run GoodYear MT/R and he does BFGoodrich A/T KO. Just before the trail we did measured our height over the paved road and he was 1" higher then me. I think you possible could make this trail, just have to be carefull over rocks and inside the mudholes and watercrossing. It shouldn't be any problems if you'd go with us. I did spoted Mark and he spoted me, so by doing this simple thing we gone all the way without stucking and any damages. Good spoter will save you tons of $$$.
When I was refering to Kmvreter about other guys wanted to go, I aslo ment you. I think I have your email, so I can notify you about trail runs and we can ride them together. It would be great to get you and others together and have fun for a day...
