Not to bust your chops, but I think it defeats the purpose of the trail. I consider rock stacking equivilent to winching. I use them only when necessary. Why run the hardest trails around if all the real obsticals are giong to be bypassed? It "may" be possible to run it on 33's, but I would highly discourage it. Be prepared for serious body damage.

Yes we did have to stack some rocks last year. Mostly because of the lip of my 8.25 getting caught in some places. I've been on very few trails where some rock stacking wasn't nessesary for most or all people. In reality we had to throw a rock or 2 even for the guy on 35's. Matter of fact I don't ever remember being on a very difficult trail where someone didn't need a few rocks stacked. I don't think there is any shame in using a rock or two when needed. Now If I really had to bring rocks with me, that would be a different story.
I truely think we did a pretty damn good job last year. Because of great spotting and a few well placed rocks I made it through with no damage. More importantly I made it through.

The pics on that website are VERY deceiving as they were taken probably a couple/few years ago.Trail has changed over time and is much more difficult than those pics suggest.You have to see it in person to fully appreciate it.

I have run quite a few trails on the ol xj on 33's where I had been told it was not possible.. creative lines and a good spotter willing to take you to the edge make all the difference... IF its in a canyon and not high up I will try about anything to not stack a rock...dont like heights though..LOL

Not doubting your abilities-just passing along info because the trail has changed(gotten more difficult) over the last couple of years.
Heights wont be an issue.I think the new minnimum tire size requirement,especially how the trail is now,is 35" and unless you have 40"+ tires you have to winch out of the exit

Hey,
I live in Fairplay, about 45 min. from Buena Vista. I'm not sure if I can come but would like to. It would just be me and would probably be for only one or two of the days. Would this be okay.

Oh, I know it will be hard to leave. The big thing will be getting off enough days of work. As many as I can get off I'll be there. Hopefully I can come.
