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."

"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
