Be careful doing this. I did the same in my Tundra and fried the alternator. It's mounted on the bottom passenger side of the 5.7. No issues when fording water slow. But when I went fast once, and got a big splash like that, alternator failed an hour later. I would assume the shielding is no better on the LC then the Tundra.

I fried an alternator on a Tundra going thru a mud pit.

That photog almost gives me vertigo...
As a first timer on Black Bear Pass...the spot in this photo really does look like you're about to descend into an impossible drop...though once you continue, it's really not that bad. Even a bone stock 200 made it just fine.
Fun stuff! Even more fun when guys in Denver hear we're doing Black Bear...they took a look at my sorta-stock-in-appearance 200 and they literally said, "You can definitely do Ouray, but I would never do Black Bear in that rig..."

All the pics of black bear ALWAYS remind me of this one crazy pic. No idea of the provenance, and seems hard to stomach and an impossible position...but it's supposed to be Black Bear... Clearly many moons ago judging by the full size jeep. If anyone has background, would love to hear it.
This picture makes me pucker.
I was the last truck in the line that day. Amory was kind enough to take a couple photos of us going around that corner.
Great shot of the group
An early bad attempt of photoshop.
My first BBP was 25 years ago and the challange and the pucker factor was much greater than today. The county spends a lot of time to make it safe for the tourist and open by the 4th of July. Today the trail its wide solid and most switch backs can be made in 1 turn in a stock vehicle with a good driver. Dont miss it if you are in the area.
Damn!!
Chang name to MSbruiser... That thang's the Green Monster...!

@MScruiser
nice shots Ken!
@kreiten great photography!
Cork screw pass was hairier than a 70's porn Star that day. My faith grew in my niitos that day.
You know it @kreiten
