Assembled most of my winch mount, waiting on my frame horn reinforcement brackets to arrive before I can install the mount and winch.

Got a little award at SCE.
The muddy field had me wondering but everyone else had muddy tires just like me.
It bothered my OCD

Went back out to Reymert Mine and the Sugar Shack for the first time in about 4 years. Great historic area to explore only about 15 miles east of the Phoenix metro. Can tack it onto doing the very popular Box Canyon trail quite easily as it is only about 5 to 10 miles north of there. Took one of my employees with me who just recently picked up a '24 Wildtrak and hadn't really been out on any real trails yet.

Funtreks rates this one easy, but a lot of recent trip reports were calling it out as moderate and even pushing difficult near the end. Overall I found most of it pretty easy but did run into issues with how wide I was trying to get through the rock squeeze about a quarter of a mile from the mine. Erosion had made this a lot trickier with pretty significant rocks to get over on one side while trying to keep your body off of a big rock on the other. Probably could have made it if my steps weren't on but didn't want to mess something up when I could just walk the rest of the way. If I'm going to get body damage it's going to be on something worthwhile :).

Almost looks like the extension isn't needed.
yeah, it needed it, but only one available for quick purchase was 12" at Harbor Frieght, so I just grabbed it and will return it ...ordered a 7" extension which will work much better from amazon.

Difficult trail and the little 2DR handled it like a champ!
Was there on Saturday. Did you bypass that one nasty ledge climb that was about 1/3 of the way up the trail? People have commented that particular section has gotten much worse since last year. I could see where it was clear that the "power through it" club had been there digging progressively deeper holes in front of the ledges. I didn't see anybody with a setup anywhere near like mine go up it, and I figured I probably didn't have the ground clearance. The group I watched was all running big tires and big lifts. I also didn't do the loop because we heard that the group with 39s and lifts were struggling there.

Other than that, I had no issues. Contacted skid plates from time to time, but didn't use a spotter and didn't always make the best choices or take my time. 🙂 Based on what I encountered, I'd say the minimum recommended setup if taking that one bypass but not the others would be 33" tires and a rear locker. Probably 37s and a lift if staying on the main trail.
