Sourgrass Jeep Trail 2024. Partial Closure.

[@Norkaloffroader]

The water crossing needs 37s now. Or your stacking rocks for days. It’s thrashed!

[@blondejon83]

Yeah the crossing was way different last time we went . Used to do sour grass multiple times a year back in the day with stock rigs. Now with the crossing the way it is, I wouldnt bring a stock rig

[@karriesouza79]

That looked really fun❤️

[@blondejon83]

It was super fun!!!!

[@drewthomas1067]

Two years ago I took my “stock” xj with. Front locker and 29” muddies with minimal rocker panel damage was a blast. Actually damaged my rocker panels more after my 3.5” lift and 33s 😅

[@blondejon83]

That would be so fun to take a stock xj through with a front locker. I want to put a air locker and sliders on my stocker blue xj at some point. My xj on 40s is way overbuilt For this trail

[@MrRatterd]

There is a bypass trail for that creek crossing rite whare you camped. It showed up about 3 or 4 years ago.

[@blondejon83]

Yeah we saw that. Its not an official or legal bypass though. But the forest service needs fire access to the back of the trail for illegal fires so it might eventually get hardened and who knows maybe become official.

What is his double t case setup? I ran it in a stock 3rd4R and most of the other rigs I saw were jks on 40"+ tires.

[@blondejon83]

Other than the crossing getting harder the rest of the trail is mostly stocker friendly Still. We used to bring stock 3rd gen 4runners through sour grass all the time. He is running a 231/300 doubler. We actually have a video of the install on my Channel if you scroll through videos. Both cases have stock gearing.

That’s my dog Odysseus ! He was a Boston, Sadly He passed away and my buddy made me a bunch of stickers . He was my co pilot in my truck. I never realized this trail went too much further than the water cross ! I also had to back out on that one . Tacoma lockers 35’s . Need to go back

[@blondejon83]

What the heck thats your sticker and you found this video?! Dude thats a small world situation ! Thats so cool. I also have a boston but he hates camping.

[@blondejon83]

We got up the crossing, just need some spotting due to the rear pass side lower shock mount burying itself, backed up once to resituate . Had to stack one rock pass rear and it went up.

[@Brendin777]

@@blondejon83 😂 that’s awesome . Best dogs ever . Yea so random ! Hope to run into you out there on the trails . I’m trying to do deer valley next run . Never been

[@blondejon83]

@@Brendin777deer valley is fun!

[@blondejon83]

And yeah I hope to run into you out there man !

[@JDR1971]

The forest service screwed up and actually admitted to it?!?

[@blondejon83]

I wouldnt say they screwed up. Some new folks , accidents happen, but at the time I was shocked since no one I know had told me they closed part of sour grass and we had been camping in the “back” for the past 20 years , used to bring totally stock rigs through there. Been years since ive ran it. Forest service is taking those down.
