from the driver's perspective all you see to the sides is sky :p

You may be a four wheeler if...
you've invested enough in your rig to buy a mercedes and it still looks like crap.

:hmm3grin2orange:


No stairsteps. Have driven plenty of steep, white-knuckle, 4-Lo only, trails while deer hunting at Fort Hunter Liggett. My son owns a 78 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser, several dirt bikes and rides them all the time from his house near Weimar. Pozo is a trip. The pics of dead outlaws hung from the oak tree in front of the Pozo Saloon back in the days when it was a stagecoach station is a trip.

The Rubicon 4WD Trail is cheating. My friends and I park our vehicles at Loon Lake and backpack towards Desolation Wilderness from there.
:hmm3grin2orange:
Jeannes dad, and his group of friends, and his hunting group. All took there four wheelers, the atv ones. Honda 350 4x4's. Up the rubicon, some spots they went around on some of the chicken trails. They told me it was quite an experince, and overall one of the hardest runs they ever made. I don't think those guys completed all of it either and man those guys can ride. Many probably thought they were crazy. I wonder how many try on four wheelers.

Sometimes, life is better in the slow lane. As soon as the snow melts enough for backpacking on the foot trails, we enjoy fishing for trout in the small lakes up there. Nothing tastes better than fresh-caught trout grilled over a bed of coals. A 14-inch native trout will make one forget all of their troubles.

I don't see that many of the little 4-bys but they do run this type of trail...some do better than others. My truck is specifically set up for this type of terrain so pretty much 'walks' over it all. the real hardcore crazies run King Of Hammers in 6-figure rock racers :p

after seeing your rig i don't think you have 100K to spend on a new rig..
hell, i'e been trying to talk the wife into letting me spend 15K on some scaffolding to hold an atlas 2 and a Acura 4-banger with some 38" casters
 
Gloves

I was cleaning out the pickup today and I came up with a pair of gloves that aren't mine.

They're black, cloth, and "HEAD" is the label on them. Anybody claim them?

And I know, I know...I've got to start cleaning out my pickup more often. :laugh:

I know a fellow who years ago ran the entire length of the Rubicon Trail in a Datsun 2wd pickup. I think I would be more comfortable in my son's 1978 FJ-40 in a caravan of 2 or more vehicles.

Lots of disabled 4x4s being towed at the trailhead of the Miller Jeep Trail.

I am a staunch believer in Tread Lightly.

I seem to remember those were left on a table and you were assigned temporary custody. That's all I know.
