Hey has anyone ran Rimrock in a Toyota with 4" Marlin springs and 36" tires and been able to keep their pants clean? :tp: I'm also a little top heavy with an exo, I was thinking on using limiting straps. I've yet too run over there. :looser:

If you are top heavy I wouldnt even think about the upper offcamber trails. There are many lower trails that you will be ok on though. Rimrock is a great place to wheel but respect it as people die there every year.

Take some friends with ya and go wheel it. Use your own personal judgement.

Yeah, RimRock is a blast. And it's okay to turn around and find a different trail. We did that last year when we got to a section of trail that we thought was unsafe.
The thing about the area is, if you screw up, you aren't just gonna flop on your side. Your gonna die.
EDIT, this is one of the easier trails. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it is crazy off camber.
And if you roll, there ain't much to stop you.
Again, this is the divide ridge, another easy trail.

Now THAT is hardcore. How many hours did it take to remove the seat cover from his ass???
What seat cover? :redneck: Note that Ben had the camera tilted to the right to make it look less scary. :haha:

Dude! That mud is like brick mortar! Once it dries a pressure washer doesn't even faze it! Oh...and it stinks really bad too:eeek:
As for wheeling over there in the toy. You can do it but not on all the trails. Stay away from pucker ridge. The bottom of short and dirty was a bit stressful going down. I'm 78" wide and wish I'd been 83" like wheelinjp. His outboarded (wider) spring mounts helped with sidehill stability also. You don't need big tires (most of the time) or any lift to wheel there. A stock YJ TJ or whatever with lockers will kick butt...especially if it is fuel injected.
PS Airing the tires down just means the downhill side of the rig will lean even worse. I actually aired up cause my downhill side rim was almost touching the dirt on sidehills:eeek:

Don't you mean "Short and Dirty" Karl? I know both of those spots well. The sidehill is worse than the pic shows, we ran it the other direction on eyear on the 4th of July after a 45 minute (what the) hail storm and it was a greasy mess. We had to drive to the bottom andcross then back up the other side to get accross....:; There was about 1

I ran nearly all those trails in a 73 CJ5 with 2" of lift (first Rancho lift for jeeps I bought at Sears) and 31's. :awesomework:
Welded diffs were the only reason I was able to make it, but the jeep took lots-o-body damage every time out.
