2 and 3 are White Knuckle. That JK makes it look fairly easy. Trust me, when you're standing at the top (or bottom) of that obstacle, it doesn't look easy. Many vehicles go down with a winch safety line on the rear.

Here's the Daystar H3T doing it. Note that there are a LOT more rocks stacked up there. No way in heck am I doing this one.

Run btr backwards so you have to go up them that's less scary...

I know when wayalife JK ran it they had two groups like 14 go through the trail. 8 or 9 turned back around and the others continued. The longer the wheelbase the better off you are, H1s should be fine. H2s should be fine also...h3s even are a "long wheelbase" vehicle compared to most jeeps. So I really think mathematically and from a physics standpoint even 3s are ok. It's just the pucker factor...which is good to have pucker come in before real danger.

This year I'm leaving my 2nd spare at neos and leaving as much unnecessary weight in the tent as possible.

i hope there will be a big rock pile at the bottom being that jeep week ends the day before... pray for a big rock pile :wink:

Not sureI am all that interested in BTR again. Lots of driving for a handful of obstacles. BTR and Pritchett back to back doesn't leave much time for repairs if any are needed.

if there is carnage on BTR we could move Pritchett to wed. or we could put off BTR/whiteknuckle till next time but this would be our best time to have a good sized rock pile there. i want to take Matt out there too since he missed the last trip.

looking through the high dive pics all I can say is wow! I would be ****ting myself...I would be no matter what vehicle im in but those short wheelbase jeep guys have some balls. They literally are endo-ing down the damn hill.
