Do you think he can make it through radiator rapids? That's the part that would worries me, and I'm not quite stock.

He might need a tow strap to make it through radiator rapids, the 2 stock jeeps did, but it was sure fun to watch them try it. hahaha

I may come out. I have some body work to do on my truck from pritchett. Ugh.
Its time to bob and get that rear quarter panel protection done.

did you make it through pritchett, or did you have to winch up everything? I'd love to see some pics of the damage (and of you on the trail)

I made it up all but rocker knocker. Everything else without a winching.

No. Just harsh. Had to bump it hard in a few spots. (dont mean to jack your thread)
35's would have made it much better and funner IMO

Uhh, I was looking at the trip report. Is body damage going to happen on this trail? Or if I take the easy lines, I will be okay?

no body damage on rattlesnake (1st trail). Personally, I wouldn't recommend constrictor (2nd, more challenging trail), but others say you'll be fine. Definitely come though, you'll have a blast on rattlesnake. Stock samis, jeeps, toyotas, even fullsize broncos have done rattlesnake with no body damage.

I have run that trail stock with no issue what-so-ever. You will be fine.

Let's say 8 am at the chevron.
We actually got a stock 4-door long bed 96 f350 through rattle snake with no BODY damage... he did bend his rear drive shaft on a drop off...
pics here (yes I know the trail has changed a lot)

I was going to say that I have done constrictor without body damage but I don't think that is true, although I think I could now since the tree and rock configuration above the water fall has changed since I have run it.
For me it is more of a matter of being 6500lbs not size...
If I am not putting a new clutch in our civic I think I will try to make this run, it will be the 2nd to last run for the bronco... (I will probably not run constrictor, something about hanging 5ft off the ground on my winch rope... I've done it but I don't know that I need to do it again...)
