this for twice the price would be way better option.

Kinda off topic but please follow up once with your impressions of Schnebly Hill when you get back from your road trip. We are doing a trip up to Flagstaff and this one popped up as a trail to check out in my research.We are doing our first road trip (2500 Miles) in the Bronco in a couple of weeks and I've chosen as least one trail to go to. Its the Schnebly Hill Trail in AZ. Seems like a good easy first time off road trail from what I could see on youtube other than it being bumpy and some rocks sticking out.
My question is what should I air down my tires to? I have the SAS package. Full disclosure never gone solo before only did this at the Bronco Off Roadeo. Any advice for a first time off roader would be great!
On a side note, thought about going to Engineer Pass in CO but looked it up online. Doesnt seem like a very good trail for a first timer. I am doing Black Gap Trail in Big Bend later this year.
When I was in college in the late 1990ās Schnebly Hill Rd was passable by some cars and most SUVās, 20 years later it has become much more of a trail. There are some rock steps that are a good place to scrape the underbody on as you descend. In 2017 I took my stock 2011 VW Touareg TDI down Schnebly Hill top to bottom on 18ā street tires at street pressure (33F/39R). I got a lot of odd looks from the jeep and FJ guys on the trail that day. Tire placement was critical, I bumped the underbody a few times and had to be careful on a few sections. I donāt know that the Touareg wouldāve been able to make it back up the trail. A SAS Bronco should be a walk in the park on that trail, but itās still challenging enough to be fun and very scenic. Iād shoot for 18-20 PSI. On my 87 Bronco, 5500# and 35x12.5R17 tires, I would use 18 psi as a good all around pressure for offroad and drop to 15 psi for hard crawling. I would be at risk of denting a rim below 15psi.We are doing our first road trip (2500 Miles) in the Bronco in a couple of weeks and I've chosen as least one trail to go to.

Thanks for the tip! We are also taking a Curt cargo carrier on the hitch. But should be ok for this really light trail.When I was in college in the late 1990ās Schnebly Hill Rd was passable by some cars and most SUVās, 20 years later it has become much more of a trail.

These are 2 trails I look forward to doing, probably next year as I'm still waiting. How is camping on Schnebly? I plan to get there early evening/ late afternoon and hit a camping spot close to the start then next morning run both trails. Any time of year to avoid?I'd recommend starting at the top of Schnebly Hill Rd (near Flagstaff) and descending into Sedona - you get waaaay better views.
If you start in the morning, you'll get into Sedona around lunch time, and could go to Broken Arrow in the afternoon - your Black Diamond should have no issues running it, and you get more amazing views.
I'm planning a Schnebly/Broken Arrow run for either April 24th or May 1st if anyone is interested.
