Real bad lol. We all also found our cooling system limits, and clark needs a sponsor for hydro lines.
In all seriousness, this place will find your rigs weakness in a heartbeat. There are "bypasses" in most places but even the access trails wouldnt be kind to anything under 37s IMO. Saturdays trail was balls out no bypasses and very steep and off camber. You need proven axles, good cooling, big sticky tires, knowledge of recoveries and repairs, and lots of patience for this place. Correct me if im wrong, but we were in Tackett Creek for close to 13 hrs, we stopped alot and had some repairs to make, but bring a lunch and plenty of water.
I will never, ever go back in the summer months, conditions were great, but the heat was almost unbearable. On top of that you had to watch every step, we saw multiple poisonous snakes and even a damn tarantula. Its the wild west still out there and you are 2hrs from the nearest hospital probably.

I almost forgot that Wes had to winch with sticky 42s on the camp access trail Thursday evening when we went back early to look at my buggy and move some meat to the fridge.
From what I recall:
Tony- overheated/fan relay issues
Justin- overheated
Wes- front locker and hub issue
Clark- 2 hydro line repairs at the pump
Pat- transmission seal failure (guessing)
The nearest town is 1 hour away, and if they don't have a part then OK City is 3 hours one way.

I also had a brake caliper fall off on the way back to camp Thursday. You were winching Wes when that happened. I hate the Kingpin Caliper set up. I lost the slide and spring from the bottom, no idea how that happened. Had a spare so was able to fix it.
That list of issues sounds like a lot, but honestly, I was real impressed with how we were able to hold up...that park was amazing but also brutal.
I will go back, but it will need to be spring or fall.
