Riddle me this...

Which is a good general rule, until you get on a surface with "stuff" all over the trail. Then the skill of the driver (and his spotter) is calculating all the undulations in the path and carefully balancing his tire(s) on the right football sized rocks in an attempt to clear the other 10,000 football sized rocks that the trail is literally made of.

Ugly and slow going.

Rock gardens are the best. It is even better when you get your tires placed where you want them and then the rock shifts and you slide off on to other big ass rocks. Even more fun when the rocks are wet. Some of my favorite wheeling and the cause of most of my undercarriage damage

Doesn't look like much but when your actually going up "bowling ball hill" it's real fun without lockers.Every 2 feet forward you roll back 10 feet due to the rocks shifting under you that are moving with the stream that is under them.Fun times on that 1/4 mile long climb,it turns right at the top and another long stretch to go.

Here in Western Washington, a lot of trails are like that. So much so we got tired of wheeling them. Feels like you're going to pee blood your kidneys get so rattled. Now we try to stick to tough trails, but fewer rock-garden varieties. The Jarring just gets old after a while. Plus, you get a break from the constant worry that something's... you know, gonna break.

If you pee blood from getting pounded in a KJ on any trail, you really have the wrong suspension under your rig.

Nah, you're just not wheeling hard enough trails.

Mine's stock. You spend a day pounding football sized rocks, you're gonna feel it. You may not feel it as much with a different suspension, but you're gonna feel it. I was with a guy with a 6" custom lift on his truck, he felt the same way.

haha wow, you know your in for some shit when theres a winch point located conveniently on the trail.

Been on a few trails a bit more raggedy than the one you posted and it was easy going in ThunderbirdJunkie's KJ.

a TJ, CJ, FJ55, etc may be a LITTLE different story
