Default Did a Bit of Wheeling today.

Pouring rain, open diffs front and rear.

This first picture will give you an Idea how big these ledges are:



Did not make it up here:



Made it here after a couple tries, I will post a videao if the first minute of this climb at the end:









Unfortunately, i scraped my doors on this out-cropping of rock...



And at the summit, everything past this point behind the jeeps is off limits, so no one went there.



Video that I mentioned earlier.

Open diffs= WOT!

No way I was making it any other way.

One of the members had to do the whole trail in 4hi, To give you an idea how tough this was for him, it took us 2 1/2 hours to get to the summit, 15 minutes back to the trailhead.

I was, thrashed the Moderate trail twice, the guides were impressed with how well it did, considering it's not really all THAT built.

The Chevy that ran the trail with the group, was a 2500 HD diesel, with a SAS and leaf spring front, I can assure you, he made it everywhere the smaller trucks did.
