Oh I’m past that point. Had to cut the bottoms for clearance and I put a tree into the drivers door today
I hate wheeling with doors on for visibility reasons. Today I wanted tube doors really bad.

Some pics from Fordyce trail last Saturday.
Beautiful day with clear skies and no wind until 4pm. The snowfall has been really weak and the trail is clear until you reach sunrise hill.
I wish I had the tube doors on for the trip.

lunch at the crossing and played around with the little crawlers.
Heading back up the hill from the water crossing was the most challenging. The 42's at 8psi kicked ass though.

I always look forward to your Fordyce pics, beautiful bucket list place.
Are you guys telling me to “NOT” worry about the body so much?
Just make it water tight and get it running?

For California trails with a full size?
Yeah.
That place is gorgeous.
Great pics! Beautiful there!
If I were to ever have a choice of just one type of environment to go wheel’n in this would be it - that is some damn fine scenery!
And all three rigs weren’t bad either.

And this pic right here needs to be on next years CK5 calendar or maybe an old Chevy commercial - as I look at it I hear ole Mr. Segar sing’n “Like a Rock” !

Do you guys cross the water when it is that cold?

As long as the water is not high enough to get inside the cab, why not?
If I ever get back to go wheeling on CA again, I want to run Fordyce.
I'm on the road for work right now so it's a good time to update the thread. Zak and I ran Fordyce trail in late May. The river is super deep, measuring 460 cfs just below the damn so most people won't cross. I think we saw 6 rigs past the 1st crossing. 2nd crossing was sketchy and deep enough that my ass was soaked.

I wish we had a river crossing trail like that. At least I think I do. Haha! Sounds fun anyway. 
Such a beautiful place, I love Fordyce pics.
Looks like a great time!
