Right now the swamp trail is very wet make sure you are prepared. I did the swamp last summer in my 35 bfg's with much resistance, I can imagine the carnage it can hand out this early in the season.

It's by Elbe, google map it. This may not be the run for you were expecting it to be SUPER deep cause all the snow is melting off and appearantly this is the swampy lowland of the area.

I think having 31's would kill you on Swamp. Waterproofing the truck is pretty easy it could be done in a few hours for 50 bucks or less

If you can get on 33" swampers or 35" any other tire (swampers run large) and at least one locker you should be alright.

We could split off into two groups when it comes time for the swamp and then meet back up since it seems like lots of guys will not want to tackle the swamp.
