Not gunna lie, some spots were pretty rough due to how low I am, I got hung up on the sliders twice and had to use the hi lift once to get unstuck on one of those times. Other than that, the truck did awesome! Every piece of armor on my truck was used time after time though lol After having been on the trail now, I would not go over it with stock gearing in the t case, dual cases or 4.7's are a must.
Oh and the winch works great! I had to unstuck the guy in front of me who got hung up on both diffs Hand throttle and GM alternator kept power flowing nicely, and the winch never even made the electrical system wince

Looks good and glad to see no snow. I'm heading to the Rubicon on the 30th and when we finish the Con we are heading over to Meadow Lake to do the Fordyce Trail. Two good trails in one week

I didn't run the whole thing, it was my first time out there and just wanted to get a feel for the trail and how my truck would handle it, I feel like I could make it through, but being a little higher would definitely help me out a lot, and obviously having a front locker would too.
Drove to and from! about 3 hours both ways
I've been on parts of Fordyce too! That is another good trail. Your tread lightly smilie reminded me about the FOTR people that were up there working. They were handing out spill kits and "Wag Bags" since it's now illegal to crap in the woods up there now haha they were also doing a survey of how many people were using the trail. Have fun on your trips!

Thanks! And yeah, that bronco is sick! He has a 351 Winsor in it with a 9 inch rear with detroit and a 44 front with an ARB, it does really well, only real downfall is how wide it is.

Glad to see you finally made it up there!! What did you guys run??
Wentworth to Loon?? In my experiences clearance is the biggest issue with the IFS guys like you said. I thought you had your dual cases in already....have any clutch left when you got home?
