Fantastic... I guess I will bring a buddy to hop out and be the tow strap guy because I dont have a winch. Dont worry he was going to come anyways.

Are we doing that run?

If you did Fisher East in 45 minutes, you must have been in a helicopter.

Even when it's completely frozen, it's longer than 45 minutes.

Some of the ruts are too deep and too long to get a tow rig in front of you without getting it stuck also.  Better to have a winch for this trail.
I just can’t resist a good mud hole!  🤦

if your nimble and locked you can get around stuff. keep in mind the 'bypasses' themselves can be hairraisng obstacles; there are spots that will make you poop your pants.

i'm not kidding.........

run it in the fall first. then all the nasty stuff is frozen. then you can judge for yourself what type of rig should be runnin it........

that would be awefully entertaining considering thats a 40" plus trail now hahaha

beetter start modding your 33" shoed, flexless XJ then eh buddy?

Also bear in mind that some of the ruts are so deep that you don't want to be winching a "small" rig through them under any circumstances. you'll easily have water part-way up the windshield.

JohnnyC is right about the bypasses. Some of them are VERY interesting, especially for longer wheelbase rigs (XJ's, unlimited TJ's and JK's).
