Do you mind posting the starting point of that trail

Yeah all of the info on it is at THIS LINK, including GPS route, waypoints, etc. Note that, as of this writing, finding the trailhead is a bit tricky since there is a new housing sub-division under construction that you have to drive through to access the beginning of the forest road. And the new streets don't appear on most mapping and GPS apps yet. But I've written turn-by-turn instructions for it in that post. All of the info is there for everyone's use any time they'd like to run that route.

BTW, also as of this writing, there is currently a road closure on Highway 38, which is your return route from the end of this run. But there's an easy go-around if you decide to go. From Highway 38 take Glass Road down to Seven Oaks, then up Middle Control Road back to Highway 38 at Angelus Oaks. There's a big wash-out on the highway in between those points. It was actually made worse by another storm up there this weekend. But the bypass I noted is easy.

Yeah I'm a fan of bigger tires but to be honest, from a purely off-road performance perspective, 35's on a 2-door are just about perfect. And it's a Base non-Squatch, so less stress on the M190 LOL.

Looks perfect
Now im second guessing going to a 37

Thanks for hosting us Dusty. I'll post my pics shortly, both here and on SCB.

Note that my tires are Nittos, which run closer to a true 35 than the Goodyear "35's" that come on Sasquatch Broncos. They look a little bigger because they ARE a little bigger LOL.

@JediMcMuffin that crack just about ended my day LOL. We were hauling ass with Kurt right on my tail when I hit that washout. Thought for sure it had F'd something up but the Bronco survived LOL.

If you're going to drive up a mountain, you might as well do it in style. Not sure what the more spectacular view is, the group of Broncos, or the scenery!?
