I am going soon. It will be my first time. Some people told me that I should expect some body damage. I think I can make it through the trails. I have 33 Swamper Boggers, ARB lockers front and rear and low gears. Did anyone every go to these extreme trails before?

I think you will smash every panel.

You'll make it, but it will be like when a buddy and I 'made it' through the trails at Tellico in a slightly lifted Nissan Sentra and his slightly lifted Mazda MPV Minivan. We made it, didnt break any mechanical item and drove both home on their own, but serious body damage. My guess is that we all enjoy a little body damage, but I would consider that you would not enjoy 75% of the "trail" unless you are sick. Wait a few years until your Disco has no doors, roof and is a tubular hybrid dedicated trail rig...79" WB or less is about what you want (CJ5, SJ410/413, LJ20Vs, etc).

With that said, go for it, I'd love to see the pictures.

I haven't been there yet.
When are you going? Sounds like a good show:D
What are the other rigs in your group like?

Id do it in my jeep with 33 but i dont really care if i brake parts or damage body pannels on it. i have personally never been there but i know guys that have. you will destroy your rover. if you look on offroad .com do a search and i am sure you find some info. or check on 4x4 trails.net I belive this trail is rated a 10 out of 10. DONT DO IT
