yep i think you could make it. a few of those hills might be difficult for street tires after a rain though. it looked like more of a road than a "trail".

Go for it. The only thing 2wd sucks in is snow, mud, and like 4ft ledges

My buddy on 35's and locked rear can do trails a lot harder then this in 2 wheel drive. So go for it. He gets bored when he cant use 4 wheel drive. haha

Unless I missed something, I saw nothing that the family car couldn't do with a little finesse. So if that is a problem for you get some driving instruction from someone that knows trail driving.

For a couple of years I drove the family car off road in the southern Nevada Desert without any problems. The secret. Go slow, pick you route, try to go around things instead of over them and KNOW your ground clearence.

You will be suprised where a 2 wheel drive will take you and bring you back home, if you do your part.
