did some wheelin, i've been through this little canyon before but recently it has had some serious flooding down it. it was so much tougher getting through it this time. smashed my passenger mirror in, i'm surprised how the mirror flung back out almost to the position it's supposed to be at. oh today was fun, i also need a new steering gear box

yeah man it's my favorite little canyon to take my jeep. it's only about 1/4 mile long but i've come the closest to rolling, bent my drive shaft and drove down it in front wheel drive. and it's only about 5 minutes from my house

Looks like fun man! If I end up coming out there your going to have to show me this spot

I like the bumper too! but you really should take off the mud flaps when your wheeling LOL, they will bend haha. I forgot once and tweaked it pretty good lol, they do bend back though
