Well I thought I had researched the Coyote Flats trail in the eastern sierras as much as I needed to, but failed to notice anything about what size vehicles should go on it. So off I went with my buddy in his jeep and I in my 92 W250 with FWC camper. Well all I had read made it sound pretty mild, but maybe in a jeep. The turns were tight and rocky, with only a single track up and down with very little room for passing. And rocks every step of the way. By the time I got to camp every carefully packed item in the camper was on the floor. The place is beautiful and worth the trip, but not in something like mine. I about fried my brakes coming back down, it is steep, I maxed out my articulation and put the old girl through its paces big time. On a side note I was very impressed with my load range coopers, aired them down to 30 psi and beat the crap out of them on a lot of sharp rocks, very impressed. not sponsored by Cooper, bought with my own dime. something that disappointed was the Preece air tank setup, it barely filled one tire and the gauge was all over the place, thinking its time to go the compressor route. I have been to a lot of the eastern Sierras and will be back again. Just not Coyote Flats.
