om prob not with out some body damage in potts and you would prob get stuck in a couple places you would need a winch or someone with one...i am not too familiar with any other trails around here

Not talking trash but Potts is rough. I don't think you would really want to take a stock (or close to it) anything through it. Body damage? You could probably expect it. Stuck in a few places? Expect it. Probably make for a long trail ride and put you and your truck through the paces. Potts is deff/ not a learner trail. I have seen some nice stuff get beat there. Like I said its a awesome trail, just pretty difficult to traverse.

Not trying to talk you out of exploring it for yourself but if I were you I would deff. ride w/ someone through it first and check it out. Then decide if you want to try it.

See ya on the trails! :)

Up near Harrisonburg, around my area. I'll take you on a trail ride if you serious want to come up.

I saw the pictures... I wanted to make it out but had some things going on that wouldn't allow me.

Was a little surprised when I saw the snow.
