    steeper than up at Flagpole ? The V6 does have a trans cooler, dont know if its the same as the V8 has. My biggest worries has been not having any skid plates.

    The short answer is yes and the loose rocky ground adds to its difficulty. Chapman89 didn't have skids either and I have been running those trails with out skids for a while. I don't recommend it obviously but being careful and taking the easier lines you should be ok, but if you have the funds it might be worth it. At least the suspension skid for $45 is pretty reasonable.

    Yes we will be on those exact trails and more. We only ran three trails out there and it took us all day to do it. So there is plenty out there to keep us busy. I've never put anything but 87 in my XK.
