No I haven't, but I've also ridden it a couple times on a bike...spent 4 days out there each time...one other time rode it in one day for a friend's 40th b-day. After seeing what John Wessel's Syncro will do up on Amasa Back, I don't think a Syncro would have too much of a problem doing White Rim, but I wouldn't try it in my Camper. I haven't seen anything as challenging on the Rim as up on Amasa. John's is "prepped" just for that kind of trail negotiating...great clearance and his is a van, not camper. Generally, Syncro's do better than most other "stock" vehicles, with minor modification and about $40K-50K less investment. "Has anyone ever done the White Rim Trail in Moab, Utah in a Syncro? This question comes from a discussion with a friend about the merits of the the Syncro." Bob "I rode the trail last year on a bike with support from Toyota 4Runner and my turn to drive came on the steepest section right in the middle of the trail, a little scary." We were debating on how the Syncro would do.
Just wondering
