Anyone interested in running Potato on Saturday??? This could be a hard run. I have heard it is no longer stock friendly. Meet at the turnoff for Lovell Canyon @ 9AM. Roll out 9:30. Who's up for a challenge. |

So far, it looks like there is no interest. Hopefully that will change. |

The trail looks more like the wash was before the rains made the trail fun again, rocky. It is really fun again from the non stock point of view. I would love to go, but I already have plans with the family. I hope you get to go...you'll have lots of fun for sure. |

I just ran it a month ago and Joe is right. If you like rugged, that's what it is now. Spotter recommended if you don't want damage! I "rubbed" a boulder that tore my right front fender out of a couple mounts. You can't tell to look at it but it's damaged none the less. (No Spotter, LOL). Luckily there's a recall for my fenders I haven't gone in for yet so it will be taken care of.

I know its been months ago, but how was the run? Its been over 4 years since I've run it from Lovell all the way through, and would like to run it again if a stock Rubicon can make it. Kevin |

The trail was somewhat harder than I thought it would be. Some people might say that a stock wrangler can make it. Personally, I would recommend some lift , bigger tires and skid plates. |

I did it in a Grand Cherokee WK, 31" tires, 2" lift, and I only remember one hard part where you had to crawl around one huge rock. No wheeling going on this weekend, would like to do something... |
