Didn't get many pics. Was doing allot of driving. This was by far the best trail I have done so far. And the most fun I have had. The ZJ did well and had no major breaks. The ZJ got broke in and it is all down hill from there. We ennded up doing the entire Fordyce Trail, mostsly in the dark. We had some breakage on my buddys scrambler and were stuck on the trail for 20 hrs.

Damage report
2 bent lower CA's.
door
back quarter and lots of rock rash

I see you yanked the front doors off. Did you like it better that way? I can't stand wheeling with my front doors on. The only problem is the lip on the rear door loves to grab those rocks and roots. I think I'm going to quit running rear doors also for that reason.

This is the stage where I am. And man you're right. The downhill ride can be pretty fast.

I'd love to run fordyce, maybe one day..

Way better with no front doors. What I can see now helps a ton, especially with som of the types of wheeling on this last trip. There are some big rocks at Fordyce. Ended up swaping both diff covers to to ROCKCRUSHER diff covers because I was banging the hell out of them every 15 seconds. Got them from Foothill OPffroad in Auburn. Nice people and had everything in stock.

Thanks for the pics and I agree with you, Fordyce is one of the best in the area.
