Yay! Looks like I'm going to SNT.
All part of my plan, now you have to come!
Also you have to take the 73's wheels back that are taking up space in my garage. The 73 is almost good as new now, sleeved and welded the exhaust today and popped on a new PS and AC belt (when the PS belt let go, it got sucked through the AC belt and broke that one too). Just need to undent that rocker - tomorrow.
There is a great place to camp with this as your view of Caples Lake and Kirkwood. We took the 100 up yesterday for a picnic and to get away from the heat.

Somehow I have a feeling that as I get better at fixing things she going to keep getting better at breaking them...

Strawberry Pass
Would you say this trail is easily do-able in a truck with a 6" lift with offroad tires ect.? Im still pretty new to off-roading though. Looking for easier (but still fun) trails in Nor-Cal.

Wagons are tight through the pinch rock. The rest is pretty easy w/ that kind of lift.
ran it not too long ago with about a 1 to 3 feet of fresh snow. those ice flows would be nasty with those steep hills. some parts turn into a toboggan run with the slickness. good fun though. remember that winter time closures are in effect and the rule for snow wheeling is that you cannot break through to the dirt. I only say this because the rangers in our area will hammer you with tickets if busted. people get written up quite often for going off the main road on Iron mountain/Mormon Emigrant. tread lightly.
I smell a spring trip coming on!!
Anyone have photos of a 80 making it thru the squeeze rock? I ran this trail years ago in an old minitruck i didnt care about, but i kind of care about my fj80. I wont have a huge lift and will be on 33"s but i want to try this trail this summer.

On the way there
Unless it's changed a lot, I've been through there several times in my 40 and 80. It should be OK.

We took 3 80's last summer through it. We were going downhill. No issues at all.
Heading there now!!!
This trail popped my cherry when I was 16, headed down it in an exploder with 3 in lift no prob, been up it in a ranger and a cherry 3 in lifted 72 K5 on 31's. Def doable in almost anything. Just go slow and drive the trail, don't mash it!
