I'm new to this association, So when I read there was a fall crawl and numbered trails I did not know how to pick which trail to sign up for. I have a bronco II lifted 6 inches locked front and rear, run 513 for gears and have 33 inch swampers, and I have tow points front and rear. This way next time there is a run I know how to sign up Thanks.

First of all, welcome.
Typically the trails are rated based on the difficulty of the trail and the equipment you have on your vehicle. For instance whether you have a winch, lockers, lift, etc. I know with our club (Deep Woods) we rate the trails from 1-5 with 1 being something for a pretty much stock vehicle and 5 being something for a vehicle with more than enough capability.
I thought somewhere we had posted a description of what was needed for the various trails?

As far as individual trails go each club has their own guide lines. Our are from 1 - 10 1 being easy 10 being harder.

As Far as the Fall Crawl trail numbers, these have no bearing on the overall difficulty level beyond the fact that they were GENERALLY rated from easiest to hardest BUT the description is a better indicator
Trails 1-2 are for stock to slightly modified and Trail 3 will be great for slightly modified to 33" tire size

You'd be fine on my trails, #6, moderately hard.
I think mines full tho.
