Just got back from the Tahoe area and had a blast running some trails. This was the first time out to test out the new lift and tires and I came away impressed. It is truly amazing the obstacles that look really difficult that the Jeep just motors through without a problem.
First day ran the Blackwood Canyon / McKinney Creek trails on the west shore of Tahoe. The scenery was awesome as the trail skirts a half dozen small lakes. Had a blast, but nothing on these trails was that difficult, even for my relatively limited skills. Unfortunately didn't get any pictures - it was the first day and we were having too much fun driving!
Second day ran the Bear Valley Loop, northeast of Truckee off of 89. This trail was quite a bit more difficult and tested the limits of my abilities a couple times. Made it up a couple of the more difficult obstacles, including Winch Hill and Ball Peen Hill, but not without a couple minor trail scars to show for it! Much of the trail winds through a large burn area (maybe 3-4 years old), so it was a little hot from the lack of shade. Also, the trail is a bit overgrown and bushy in spots, particularly through the burn area. Had even more fun on this trail, but we made a point to try and get some pics:
