Wasn't the guides fault. Seems to be an issue with the Jeep JKU, specifically the Sahara model with the 255/70/R18 tires. We had the sway bar disconnected and tied up, as most seem to do, but these tires are large, even for stock. Large enough that when your articulating into a turn, and at full...
Yup, I did the Newbie run this past summer, and it was amazing! Don't think they let you do it twice though. I had a blast, and met a lot of new, and knowledgable people. We did the Minden Hydro Line Trail (Scotch Line) which is rated as a 2+ I believe. Had a great time, but I wouldn't want to...
