Hey All,

I'll be running Lavant on Sat July 4th.

Meet at Hopetown cemetery at 10:30 AM. (at the very end of March Road past Almonte).

33's recommended

Cheers.

Is this stock-ish friendly? I'm on 33s with a 2" lift but I have nothing protecting my rockers right now...

I would say that you should be fine. That said, there is always the possibility of body damage on any run.

Agreed. You should be fine on 33's. There are a couple of spots that have bypasses if you are not comfortable.

I have seen a stock YJ do the trail, but with a very experienced driver.

Usually we eat lunch at the top, there is a lookout that is very scenic.

we were in on Wednesday, water was way down in most spots, so picking good lines was easier. Stockish 4runner on 31's beat his way to the top. There was a bunch of garbage lining the trail when we went up, we picked up some but didn't think to bring a garbage bag so we couldn't collect all of it. Might be something to consider.

Body damage of course, but right now I have my steps off and haven't had a chance to put my rock rails on. I want to avoid caving my rockers in since they are not in a good spot to fix

I made it with my stock 4th gen 4runner on 31" bfg at's so you should be fine. I did rub the belly A lot though!

Awesome.
One last question: what is our estimated return time and where (if different from the entrance) will we be exiting the trail? I'm going to the Casselman Super Pull tomorrow night

Trail is in and out at the same spot. Poland/South Lavant on google maps is a pretty accurate indicator. Usually the run wraps up by 4ish, but anything can happen to extend the day. You're in luck, though, as I'm not going :p

As said, I've seen stock 4runner's do the trail without damage, so you'll be fine. The only place I'd make sure to have a spotter is by the swamp about 1/2 way in, but the bypass should be fine.

Run was fun, there was lots of garbage, I picked up a bag full and there is more out there.
Mostly beer bottles/cans and chip bags. Likely teens or 613 trucks.

Trail is as dry as I've ever seen it.

Aside from some mud flaps, no breakage.

Thanks for picking up what trash you could. Maybe we should have a cleanup run? Depending on how far in the trash is, I can help out.

Surprised to hear that the trail is dry given all the rain we've gotten.
