I have been off the forum for a while. I just wanted to know if anyone has done the Barney Riley Jeep Trail down to the East Fork of the Carson River hot springs and if it is a tough trail or if my stock 96 Toyota T-100 with 200k miles could make it. Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Rich

I have never been there but I did Google search and here is the search and a link from California Jeeper. Click on some of the other link pages for more info and pictures. Might have two rigs just in case......

I did that same search and found the same pages and those pictures of the jeep in the rocks are what convinced me not to try the trail last weekend. That is a lifted jeep with 33's or 35's on it and a fair bit of travel in the front suspension and those are big rocks. There is no way my stock T-100 could get through that spot. I still haven't been able to find someone that's actually done it to find out if that guy in the jeep was just having fun in there and there's an easy way around or if you have to go through that section and more importantly, is that the worst that trail has to offer. I did find this post and pic on the Tundra sollutions forum:

The first truck looks like a stock taco. If that truck could make it then mine can. I posted a comment on that forum also to try to get some info but I haven't heard anything yet.
