Would love to read more about technicalities of what particular trails demand from vehicles, especially the rubicon trail.  Like for example, a stock Jeep or 4wheel drive vehicle can make it through with little to no difficulty if stayed on the beaten trail, but to take alternate routes, like Little Sluice, and some other trails over by Buck iSland for example, what kind of difficulties would one run into, how did you work around these problems?  The magazine has stories and articles that are very informative, but nothing captivates a reader like taking you there, showing us the mishaps from stepping it up and venturing off the regular trail, or showing how easy it was for a medium modified trail rig to get through. What could have made the trip more interesting without having to build a full blown rock buggy with 40'' tores to monster over every obstacle.  I run 35's on my Jeep Wrangler, because i find it more challenging to find a line and "Work" my way through an obstacle, instead of roll over the biggest rock with tires that are bigger than most boulders.  How can we make these trail rides the most fun, as each trail is different, we as readers dont all get the luxury to travel to these places prepared fro the best way to tackle a trail.  Which in turn makes it fun, but knowing...is 1/2 trhe battle.
