Ha! if you call almost having a wheel snap off the axle as "elegent" I'll take it! Watching myself on that first part of Heart Attack Hill is truly horrifying lol

Ran this today fellas. Now, this was my first time on this trail so I have nothing to compare it to personally but the guys I was with said the gatekeeper initial start was a bit harder. Other than that they said it was spot on. Had a great time, we had the trail to ourselves for the most part. Managed to dent the hell out of my Asfir transfer case skid, chewed up my beadlock rings and the JLURD just powered through everything.

I have to say, my buddy brought his built Bronco on 38’s and that thing was a beast. Very impressed. He did bring his friend along in a brand friggen new Bronco Badlands 4 door, still had the paper plates and with good spotting he finished no problem.

Holcomb has a ton of water and mud. I’ll post up more photos later but this was the aftermath:

We ended up only running Gold Mountain. We had plenty of time to do John Bull, but one of the other rigs’ dash went into fits and then threw a code for something turbo related. We ended up helping him back down into the valley since in limp mode. Figured out afterward a wiring harness had worked loose and fried on the block.

Edit- ah, did you mean Holcomb? Sorry, I meant Holcomb Valley, the main connector road.
