The 6G really isn't a rockcrawler.

Off topic but "Walker, Desert Racer" reminds me of "Walker, Texas Ranger"

Walker Evans was the Chuck Norris of Baja and Stadium racing back in his prime days

Today at Uwharrie.
I have several videos but too large to attach.
had a blast and several new people challenged their comfort zone and tire size limits.

Cannot wait to take a trip out to uwharrie. Any more photos or a write up for these trails?

My 79, which does not wheel at all has 2" front springs, 1 inch rear block and 35 AT's, stock tires that came off a newer Raptor, so pretty much the same exact true height as the Saq 6G's.

Appendage heights as measured.

Rear leaf spring mount -18.5"
Front radius arm mount-14.5"
Transfer case-17.5" (no skid plate needed for cast iron 205).
Frame 21" (@ breakover)

I need to crawl under my '85 some time with a tape. Best side by side picture I can find of the two on level ground.

Just new (installed 10 years ago) replacement Moog springs for a first gen Explorer in the front, rear springs came with my 8.8 out of a '96 Explorer. And a 3" bodylift to run 31's. It looks the Bronco in the eye. Wheelbase is within 2" of each other too.

But it rides nice and she is happy with it so I keep my ponderings to myself...

Uwharrie is awesome. It has everything!! If you want to do the harder stuff there’s a bunch of trails that are a little more difficult but there’s also plenty of easier ones. Also it’s totally doable on smaller tires

if you do end up going make sure you take a pic on the posing rock!!!!

We’re really lucky to have it nearby in the Carolinas

Here’s some pictures from Saturday:

Yeah, I’m turning back at that obstacle. 🫣

The thought process is similar, You still pick a line and follow the same approach, but as you stated, our east coast shit is wet and our rocks move. We also have small patches of dirt in between the big rocks to make it even more challenging. So we have to adapt on the fly way more often.
Mid to west coast has trails that are clearly marked with decades worth of black rubber. That shows you the path to take with the best chance of success. Our east coast trails can change weekend to weekend.

Another big difference between the 2 is what wheel base works better. I love my 2 door wrangler wheelbase and width for the East Coast, but there is a ton of stuff out west, that would make my width and length a big detriment. Longer is better for a lot of the ledge climbing.

For me, both scenarios are fun as hell.

This comes to mind.

Driver error. Just pick the perfect line and use as little throttle as possible. It "ALWAYS" works (and you won't break any parts, ever)..

@Tricky Dick did you sign a release or are you going to sue them defamation and lolz?
