Wasn't trying to be a jerk but I've got bigger rocks on my property and it's not a trail system. We play on 4-5' vertical ledges here that we don't consider hard core just part of the trail.

we have over 40 lower acrers and 21 mountain acrers with 50 to 60 degree slopes. i have only started to make it. I have land that is ony 7 miles from the old paragon adventure park. and xjmarc i sorry i dont have 4-5' vertical ledges. i guess my hardcore is your child play to you. but my jeep is only an xj with 5" of lift with 33" tires with stock axles.

That wasn't my point, I was just saying that a 1 foot tall rock pile isn't considered hard core. I would be dissapointed if I went somewhere that talked about hard trails and found small rock gardens. BTW when I was running my 30/35 on 33s I still ran the big rocks. Guess we have different ideas about what is hard.

most of the rocks are larger then 1' there 2 to 3 and there are even bigger one on the way. it going to be fun there mud very soft dirt trees big dips washouts and some steep grades. its hard enough that a wrangler X with 31" mud tires had very hard time with what i made so far.

I agree that would be great, but it would break a lot of stuff.

Those kids were cracking me up.

You should let them run the camera every time it's on!
