The trails are rated green (easy), blue (intermediate), black (hard), and red (extreme). Several trails have many bypasses so that groups of different levels can run a trail together. If you like mud, check out the West property, several of the green-blue trails are very muddy. When you check your group in, speak to one of the club officers for help in picking trails to run. Our parking/staging area is located on the perimeter of the forest

greens: can take a stock unit.
blues: a min of 31'' tires and a min of 2-3''lift with recovery pionts and skids.
dark blues and blacks :min 33'' tires as least a front locker and a rear would make a bunch of diffrance ,skid plates and the start of use of a winch
Red:35'' tires lock diffs front and rear,skid plates ,winch,and lift hi to clear

I know I won't be pushing to hard. First, I have no skids on as this is more of a shake down run. And second, my wife is coming along. But that's ok, my second hobby is photography. So I'm more than happy to run the bypasses, and photograph you guys as you run through them.

I use my two door alot for wheeling in Bradford county. I actually lowered it an inch up front and two inches on the rear. 14-bolt rear with auburn limited with 3.73 gears and full IFS up front.

I know, wrong kind of two door, probably got a lot of you 2-door fans excited haha. but you gotta love the fact that stock tire size is already 33. And with a GM ZZ383, plenty of power.
