3" on 35s?
You could do it, you'll just have to be cognizant of your line choice. Chinaman can be as difficult as you want it to be.
OP
Independence or Indy is one of the three down in Penrose. Independence, Liberty , and Patriot.

@nathanotis no, the April Phools is in Buena Vista on Chinaman Gulch.
Ah...duh. I should have known that.

Sorry about the confusion. I did mean independence. I'll get there someday, but not this trip.
33s, 3", Lockers.
I might be able to pull off a body lift and potentially a winch by April. I'm sure BFH garage has a Chinaman's video. I'll check it out and make sure I'm not out of my depth. It's been quite a while since I've done serious wheeling.
You guys camp or is it a day trip?
OP
It is a free for all. Some camp, some do it in a day.
The beginning of the trail can be difficult. Lots of boulders and ledges to navigate thru, but afterwards there are plenty of bypasses. The trail changes every year. Lockers are very helpful. As well as armor.
I did it on a 2.5" lift on 33s, are you tucked? Lockers help in a few spots, but we've run it with guys open.
I might try to camp a night or two, but haven't checked with my wife yet.
I should actually be able to join for an event for once. Hooray! Throwing this on my calendar for the 2nd

Still totally stock belly (and rocker) protection. It's all on the list.
Just remembered I need to replace a rear tow point (P.O removed it?)
Some of us still have CB's while most are making the move to GMRS
Great. I was looking at gmrs but wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one. How rowdy does this trip/crew get? I have a 5 year old that wants to come.
My kids haven't been on April Phoolz yet, but I have a 6 year old (5 at the time) that has joined a few times now.
