So I'm planning a trip to an off road park this weekend - hidden falls adventure park in Marble Falls, Tx - and I've been told its mainly rock trails and some crawling and what not, I was wondering how well y truck will be able to rock crawl, nothing major of course just simple lower rates trails. I have a 6" lift and 35" federal MTs

If your fine with body damage occuring... Honestly it depends on the driver. And your spotters.

I was looking at this place's website and they have trails rated 1-6 .. 1-2 is like normal trails 3 is a bit harder and says expect scratches but not body damage per say.. And then after that says body damage, roll overs, and all that hardcore stuff. I wouldn't go past 3 .. I might just have to call and see what they think.

I would probably check out the class 4 tracks before going on them. Just in case its too harry for the truck. Anything below that I'm sure you'll be fine.

Do you have a roll gauge? if not get one. It was essential to have on my old CJ7 when rock climbing was involved.

Man if I had more notice I could've met you out there. I know there was some discussion in the Texas community about the trip but didn't know if anything progressed further than the conversations. Have good time and keep me in mind if you venture back out to the park.

roll gauge... interesting... never hear about that!



you can find it as inclinometer as well.

Some newer Ford F150s have them built in...similar to this:

do you have lockers or open diffs?? that will make a big difference as well.

Personally i would start off on the 1-2 rated trails first and that will be build some confidence with you and your truck. Being on the rocks in your truck is a lot different than being in the mud. Rocks = finesse, Mud = full throttle!

I've been there with my brother in his jeep...that place has some wicked trails!
Your truck is gonna be heavy for that stuff but should work!

Go slow and know your limits

How can I tell if I have open diffs or lockers?

Does the off road app on the front LCD screen between the gauges work as a roll gauge? Because it shows all the angles of truck and stuff.

I will definitely start on the easy trails and build my way up until I feel like I've reached my limit.

Also I've seen in some rock crawling videos people lower their tire pressure but those were mainly harder trails. It is a necessity to drop the pressure?
