Feel free to fall in and don't worry about tires etc. The trail is dry and easily accessible, you should be able to make most of it in 4x2.. What it will offer is a nice location to get to learn your vehicle with its dexterity..

Morne Diablo in the dry is one of the best places to get to learn to drive off road because of how dynamic the terrain is there.

Walk with adequate food / drinks / sun screen / basic meds / a tow rope and proper foot wear for walking in the forested areas. Don't forget your camera and FRS Radios (if you have any).

btw, we've had guys drive in there with 4x2s already and they made it all the way with careful driving and by paying attention to their wife's navigational instructions..

Weeeeeey!!!!!.....Dais a low blow eh....lol

[droppa]

truth hurts!!!!

lolol

buh nos_specialist, this is a good learning run for you, its not muddy, mostly dry, will give for some good dexterity and handling challenges, you will definitely learn a thing or two about the jeep, try not to ride alone, get a rider, a female self, wear some long pants and shoes, and we hitting a beach, so u can walk with a change if u like, bring food and drinks, no alco please.....

be sure to check all fluids, belts, hoses and make sure everything good and stable to make the run...


oh and clear the day, Side B runs usually go into the evening, yeah its that much fun......

[nos_specialist]

I will have to pass on this trip, sadly....lemme do some improvements on the van first...thennn i will fall in.

[droppa]

boi, i eh trying to chain yuh up eh but this run is easy now, yuh will get a good feel of the van and there will be guys to support you tru.....

[3stagevtec]

We serious, it's an easy run so you don't have to be worried. The reason we hold these easier runs is to keep encouraging the newer guys to join in and have fun with their 4x4s.. These are specifically chosen for stock vehicles!

The 4x2 pickup we were making fun of (rottedv's Hilux) drove through on low profile tyres and made it all the way without roughing up the van. He did get stuck once though, but that was because he disobeyed his wife's directions..

[droppa]

^^agreed, later on in the year these trails will be more difficult, cause not only Side B use them, when other clubs and log skidders pass tru is more pressha......

[witeboye211]

here's what guys, i aint comin back from offshore in time to change my tires for this. do any of yawl think that almost bald H/T tires wud make it thru the trail? i've been thru cuevas with them no problem once i take the right line but i've never been on this trail. what u guys recommend? BT-50 we tlkin bout here tho.

[rottedv]

As the guys said......My 4x2 Hilux were on Nexen 17 HT.....Thats Right..........And I made it through and out without much of a hitch......

[witeboye211]

alright well sounds good.

[.z.]

Delete

[witeboye211]

thats why im asking, i wanna get to kno the trail but im skeptical about my tires. like i said, they're bald H/T's

[sliderz1]

the guys will make a decision call if things get iffy.
no worries man you safe

[droppa]

last word from the penal side was just more light showers, so lets hope that inside the forest itself did not have any downpours, so we will still on.....

[witeboye211]

sounds good

[rottedv]

Weather looking nice...Yesterday south was sunny and today its already shaping up to be the same.....

However,

I do not understand the all the hype in the rain......except for mud (Yay)......The executives of Side B will make a decision based on weather conditions and type of rigs and their equipment as they have done countless times in the pass.....to guarantee ppls safety and the rigs integrity....Also even tho you have signed up for a run, this doesn't mean that you must go......The decision is ultimately yours.......

So come prepared to have a fun filled run, safe and relaxing......Remember walk wit everything mentioned....

[witeboye211]

the way things going, doesnt look like im coming. im stuck offshore. hopefully next time guys

[AASTRA]

I have a stock hilux, and I have road stone ht tyres and I have made it on this trail with heavy rain. Droppa remembered, we came out of the forest in d dark ,but it was fun fun fun.....
We on for tomorrow Aastra and crew
