Nicely done. Always a top 10 favorite trail for me... A little encouragement for getting back in the saddle of a Sierra Carnage trip. This was the trail years ago we turned around on after a 4-Runner in the group gutted itself BEFORE we even got to Thompson hill <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />


1996 SR From the Area 51 Skunk Works. 37"BFG Tires, 5" lift, Rock Track 4:1 Case, Tom Woods Drive Shafts, Oasis Air, Front ARB, lifted gas tank, T-max winch and lots of stuff that cost too much.

Well, its a nature trail that eats trucks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Other then tires, a bent pan hard rod and long days on Thompson Hill, I really never had too much trouble until we took a built Fourunner along on the Dusy. But I gained all new appreciation that trip.

An ALBUQUERQUE wheeler! Wow, that is rare as rain these days <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> We can hook up after I get it back in September. You can help me put the winch and compressor on from the Xterra <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Did this trail last Summer in my 89 with another well built Gen 1...We both made it, but if your rig has a weak point this is the trail that will expose it. Neither one of us came out unscathed. Write up is buried somewhere in the Cali section.

89 SWB- 33's, ARB Front locker, SR rear locker/axle, SR F brakes, winch, WST Offroad Armor all Around, 2.85 Aussie T-case Gears (SOLD)
Sold: (2) 95 SR's, 86 SWB, 90LWB, 91 LWB
