I did brookridge without any issue, no lockers or winch, and during the winter. You will be fine.

Yeah, you will need the skids, and sliders.

A few reminders:

1. Sign up NOW if you haven’t done so yet

2. Reserve your camping TODAY, if you haven’t yet
2 a. Make sure you discuss any late arrivals, logistics related to camping directly with the campground. If you’re coming late & have not made the necessary arrangements with the campground, you will not be able to drive into the gated off camping area

3. Speed Limit in the campground is 5mph. Everyone MUST adhere to the speed limit!!!
5mph is very slow, last year we were all way over that limit leading to complaints from the campground.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks!!

Come for a ride along! Meet the folks, see some rigs, grab some shwag.

Do you have any mods? GG is not horribly difficult with bypasses on the challenging obstacles.

I'm in need of new shoes, but have an OME kit, so sliders (well not installed)

I'm still seeing what I can do, I really want to get out to one of these events as it'd be my first

I've run GG a few times on the OME lift. I have a couple P4X rad skids that I could bring. We could double up your OEM skid (you would need to get longer hardware in advance)

You should never do anything you're not comfortable with, but it sounds to me like your rig is plenty capable.

Most of the trails at Gremlin Graveyard can be run by stock height Xterra, with some care. There are sections, I would not run without skids but majority of the trials can be done.

However, bad tires increase the risk because of the lack of grip.

I won’t be at GG on Sat, will be running Brookridge, but make sure to talk to the trail leader for Sat & make them away you don’t have skids so will need to park/skip the rocky sections.

Unless your tires are bald, you should be fine at GG.

I ran GG completely stock my first time, all you need to remember is to stay alert and take it slow. Great group of guys that will help guide you. Hope to see you.

Not going to make it. Parents 60th wedding anniversary has been scheduled for the 14th. Maybe next year.

Just signed up. Almost forgot about the B2SR!
1 large short sleeve shirt if there are any left.

Unfortunately, I won't be camping. I plan to arrive Saturday morning around 8am for the driver's meeting.
