Your Raptor would not have made it down these trails.

Jesus, I just skimmed through your video. I see what you mean now. Super narrow during some of the trails lol

Are your mirrors actually the widest part?

Well, it'd make it... it is a matter of how many dents and scratches is tolerable to him. More "doable" with the doors / top off.

Doors and top aren’t the widest parts. I’m more concerned with the rear fenders.

This had me looking it up. Braptor is almost 10" wider with the mirrors folded in. That would have been interesting.

Only 5in wider than a Squatch. Maybe bring some bacon fat and slather up the sides to slip through a couple of those trees.

Yeah, I had invited a buddy with a very new Braptor and in the end I was really glad he couldn't make. The trails got real narrow in spots. Unlike Dave, I did have to pull my mirrors in (I'm a mediocre off-roader) and the wide part of my rock rails got some rubbing.

That's valid, however the roof line and door(s) DO become the widest part when off-camber. Not a great example but at about second 16-18 you can see how close the door gets even though the track-width does not come into play...

And this is why I didn’t even bother to engage on an invite. That video made it look like a SXS/UTV trail. Immediately I knew I wasn’t going to fit. There was third party pucker factor just watching the squeeze spectating.

10000%

I think on paper the mirror to mirror width is biggest but I am always paying closer attention to my fender when pulling in the garage

Nice non-sas badlands! Looks like a fun outing.

Those trails exhibit the upside of keeping your rigs stance narrow. The other benefit is being able to fit in your garage.

The trails around me up at camp are narrow and heavily treed as well.

Thanks for posting... Great to see the group enjoying our state.
Very western Oregon experience. Rain could make it more memorable and really increase the pucker factor.


OP: " I prefer an unpuckered state. Mud doesn't make it more fun, only more messy. "

Completely understand you feeling that way.
I have learned to accept the mud in our central coast range - 8 to 9 months each year it is my reality:
mud, hose it off, repeat...Then for 3 plus months avoid the fires and look forward to 9 months of clean air and embrace fly'n mud -all over again. My bronco is fun to me either dusty or muddy. Sand is always a blast too.
