Ha! And Peterson's 4 Wheel Off Road just named this one of it's top 9 trails but suggested not to take anything bigger than a Jeep down it.
Last weekend some friends of mine got bored after some camping plans rained out and decided to go out for a little wheeling trip, about 2 miles deep in a local trail, slick mud started getting really deep and rocks started growing fast. Apparently about 30 mins of pulling and rock stacking only made sure that all three trucks were buried. At 8:30 pm the phone started ringing and myself and a few other guys they called loaded up there trucks and buggys to go and start the recovery. We managed to get the first toyota truck winched out of the rocks around 11:30 The second truck a mini truggy got turned around and winched himself out, only after burning up an M8000, following him was the last mini. It looked like an easy exit until we hooked up the mini to a FJ40 on 42s and were just gonna rip him the rest of the way up the hill. At the top of the first slick hill the FJ backed down to let the mini by and then a small fire started up under the 40, he had seperated his transfer case from his tranny and dumped every once of fluid in the tranny.
I was behind him watching these guys pull cable in the 8 inch deep mud, up hill and started running the winch and pulling the truck up the hill. all looked like it was gonna be just a long pull to the top and then it went dark, the battery over heated and the winch wouldn't run without killing the motor.
by now it was 4:30 am
still raining, the temp had dropped 17 degrees and sure enough, nobody had planned for this to take any more than an hour so we were all stuck with no supplies.
long story short a few phone calls were made to a last buddy who decided to sleep in and take the "just in case you need me spot". He arrived the rain stopped and with a 10000 lb and me pushing him in the 80 we finally got off this hell hole muddy mess of a trail at 11:05 a.m.
The messed up part of this trip is all but one of the 8 guys we rescued and let by, left us out there to deal with our broken trucks
...needless to say we were pissed but i made some new friends and like they say a bad day wheeling is better than a good day doing anything else.
p.s. BFG KM2s crawled all over trxus and tsl s.
Body damage from the truggy backing into me to get a running shoot at the hill he never did make it up.
I just finished welding this bumper together the day before and hadn't had time to bend a stinger or ever finish painting.
Sorry about the camera phone pics, i really didn't think i would make to daylight to even get a decent pic with my camera so i didn't grab it...This is around 700 am not even half way out.
I really do h8 mud.

Nice! I love it when people post pics of my rig! Thanks Rich.
Its cool.... I took a different path when I went up with my Jeep buddie. Made it first try. The route that the crew suggested (straight up) was not the best route for a stock ride. I went up the right side with no issues the second time... and the 3rd time

Here are some more Stock poser shots. If your ever in a locked stock 80... go up the right side if your on the Isabell trail.
And here is an OOOOOLD video my buddie took while we were out wheeling around pre Cruiserheads.

who rubbed goose poo all over your truck nay?!! haha, kidding. Great pics! I'm diggin' the 37's. Maybe when my 35's wear out that will be the time for a full upgrade.
Cameras have the worst time with this color/texture with how bright it is in Colorado - it's not smooth and very reflective. This is the actual color you see.

places that make you realize that:
these arent buggies
carolina clay and water = trouble
and 37's dont make up for 6000 lbs
and nays tube bumpers would be nice.
(But first were on the hunt for a driveshaft and some tranny cooler lines)
