So, finals will be over tonight, and I'm salivating at the chance to do some offroading. Specifically, I'm considering doing some exploring over in Logandale. However, before I do so, I'd like some advice.
Are the easy trails drivable with a duo of a 4x4 and a 2x4? I'll give specifics:
My 4x4: 2005 Toyota 4Runner.
The buddy's 2x4: 2005 Toyota 4Runner.
Yeah, we both have 2005's. Funny.
My past experience offroad enthusiast for ~ 10 years: Following trails in the foothills around southeast Idaho. Also, a few tail runs with the club. Until recently I owned a large green 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser. I've also owned and built up a 1985 Toyota 4Runner with a custom lift, 33" tires, etc. That vehicle is gone, too.
I'd like to explore the trails marked "easy" on the following two maps:
Nice PDF map with trails marked by difficultyJPG map (lower resolution)My usual offroading loadout:
*~5 gal water
*Tools (enough to take most anything on the vehicle apart)
*Factory repair manual
*D-ring
*tow spindle mount for D-ring
*30,000 lb tow strap
*5 quarts motor oil
*5 quarts transmission fluid
*1 quart gear oil
*electrical tape
*Cell phone
*12V/Cigarette cell phone charger
*Portable CB radio
*map of local area
*Air pump
*tire presure gauge
*Full size spare and factory replacement tools
*Bottles of water
*Fanny pack/backpack (for hiking out if necessary)
*Sleeping bag
I suppose I should add:
*shovel
What's your opinion? Are the easy trails doable with these two vehicles? Any advice would be appreciated.
