But as long as he follows directions from me or my brother he should be fine.

What size tires does it have and is it lifted? Is it a 2 door or 4 door short bed or long bed?
I work with Sean and it looks like he's asking about our truck.

2001 F250 7.3L Turbo Diesel. 4WD, 4 door, Short Bed. 6" Lift on 37" Pro comp Extreeme All Terrains. Paint has scratches, but I'm not looking to add to them.

Depending on if I can join you guys and what happens here in the next month I may be able to trailer the wifes 87 Bronco out there. It's rolling with an 8" SL and 3" BL. 40" Boggers. Also has a 1996 351w and a 1978 C6 trans with a Jr Shift kit installed. It's mainly built for the mud pits but can do other things as well.

With a lift you'll be fine. There is one section that leans your truck towards a wall but if you hug the wall it will give you more body clearence. I saw a group of 4 H1 Hummers go through it and one of them touched but the other three hugged the wall and made it without any scratches.

Well if we are able to go and take the bronco it doesn't matter what happens. As long as we can get it back on the trailer for the ride home we can destroy it and then fix it when we get home.

Only problem with the F250 is the turning radius just sucks.

That won't be an issue on this trail.

You can also go to the far right but it's too difficult for my Explorer but my brother has done it a few times in his FJ without difficulty. However, he's lifted, on 35's and has lockers front and rear.
