Here is the full report of my trail ride yesterday. UPDATE: now with some video.

Okay, so "report" is the wrong word. It was a fun trip though, short, but fun.

The trail is called Rattlesnake and its only 2.5 miles long in the 5 mile pass OHV area in Utah and passes several mines that are closed but not sealed. The tailing piles are what the pretty "cliffs" are and you drive up and over a few of the larger ones. The rattlesnake trail "ends" here at the "Wayne's World" feature. The rattlesnake trail is rated 3-4 and I would put this Wayne's World at a 6, from here to starts a new trail called constrictor, but we didn't explore it as its much harder, a 6-8 at the nest.

Cool trail, and only 45 minutes from my house and considering it was stupidly warm, it was a very nice drive. Stupid Non-Snowing February....(I mean it...snow dammit!)

That Waynes World... I mean even if the Landy was capable of it, I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't attempt it. It just looks a bit too 'tippy'.

Nice trail though, who's is the Hilux? And what's he running underneath, because that doesn't look like factory articulation?

This is the post wherein I express my jealousy of your Land Cruiser havingship.

Tacoma, not hilux, its actually VicariousILive. he just installed a 2.5 inch OME lift and if you look carefully, one wheel is actually airborne.Also, yeah...super tippy, thats why they added a line to that one jeep.

I knew he'd need a winch, haha.

Looks like a fun trip! Hope you had fun!

Not sure if my Taco could pass that gatekeeper. Definitely would ride my skids.

funny thing is, it took him 10 minutes to get here, they added a line and he immediately drove out.

That always seems to be the case, haha.

Can you square up to that part though? It seems like Jeep kind of turned on to it and went for it.
