How much of the trail is "too narrow" Dan? In my experience, there's almost always a bypass for the really ugly stuff.

I want to agree with you Jason but unfortunately there are many trails our Raptors can't do that Jeeps can. If you get a chance take a look at the pictures in those two links and you'll see some of the reasons why.

As you know the primary issues with our Raptors versus vehicles like Jeeps is they're longer (and much longer wheelbase), wider (very wide), have longer front and rear overhangs and as a result , have smaller approach, departure and breakover angles.

That isn't meant to sound negative in anyway as I love the Raptor and I certainly could have purchased a Jeep. Though I would like to buy a used J/K and build it up for these kinds of trails I'm very happy not being able to do trails that require lifted, big-tired Jeeps like Dusy-Ershim, Moab, etc.

Oh I understand Dan. But even in those pics I can see ways around the really tough stuff.

I dunno. What the hell, right? Go with a buddy (when is it? ) and if you have to turn around, no biggie right? Don't know till ya try...

I've been on that trail up to Thompson Lake and that's nothing you want a Raptor to mess with. The jeeps in the pics were coming in @ 88" wide but mot of the width is tires. The worst part is a 2 mile uphill that is loose and VERY rocky...My uncle had an '89 tacoma with a lift and air lockers $2000+ in body damage. If you take a look at those pics every one of those jeeps had some battle scars....
