Next time we're gonna take a jeep around the whole trail.

The 1st half of the second half is pretty easy but the second half of the second half (yea that makes sense I think) is rough. I did it on a 4 wheeler. There are some pretty tough climbs that are nothing but loose rocks. The scenario is much different so you didnt miss much. The trail is good though

Can you do the trail without getting your truck all scratched up? I can deal with the mud, but I'm not trying to scratch the paint.

Looks like fun.

You can do the first half of the trail with generally no problems. Don't do the second half, it is very tight. You will get some branches that swipe your truck on the first half but unless you really screw up you should be fine.

I haven't received any scratches that I can't buff out other than when a 4wheeler slid into me (the idiot). I do put a few coats of wax on before I go to help with clean up.
