Ya, I get it, maybe just get the very front piece that looks like a pain in the ass to make?
Yea there is!! I did my shakedown run after my SAS in the black hills, I want to go back there BAD!!
Isn't camp 5 road hal johns? If so that's a pretty gnarly trail to be wheeling an IFS 4runner with no skids onToday we hit Camp 5 road. Headed in from the north end, and the wife refused to let me go over this obstacle. I got the look and a head nod, “No.”
So I recommended heading in from the south to explore the trail more. So we did that. She shot me down at this spot next.
I was pretty certain we’d make it just fine. Her gut feeling on the second spot ended up working out, because as we got back to the FS road a nasty storm was rolling in as I was airing back up.
I asked her what would have to happen to make her more confident in hitting more challenging trails…and she said one of two things: either she’s not there with us doing it, or we stop wheeling alone.
Obviously it’s a terrible idea wheeling alone with two kids and the wife in a place that we are not familiar with. So I guess alone with adding skid plates, and carrying more spare parts with us, I’ll be looking to hook up with people on these trips for one or two days.
Weasel said he’d be willing to meet up next year. So now I just need someone lined up for Utah.
However, Moab will have a lot more people wheeling. We spent a lot of time on Camp 5 and saw 2 people who were headed the other way…that was it all day. One thing I noticed is we almost never see people on these trails out here. If we do it’s a blip and then never see anyone again.
Anyways, one more day and back home we go.

I don't blame you, I don't like solo wheeling either!!Camp 5 is like a bypass road around all the super gnarly stuff. We didn’t hit the nasty stuff.
I haven’t taken my wife in the rocks yet in the Tracker. September we have a weekend planned at Benjamin Franklin Range again and I’ll break her in on rocks then. Hopefully it will ease her mind the next time I pick a line and take my time through it in the Toyota. I’m not a huge fan of wheeling alone in rocks, but we could’ve made it. We can always…maybe…make it.
That's what the winch is for
My wife has been apart of plenty of bad situations getting stuck in bfe by ourselves. Including a overnight 12+ hour Winch fest in the snow. But she does not like cliffs at all.
Utah date is set for mid-June next year.
What's your dates for Colorado? We'll be there late July early August, hartsel area.
Need any zuk or Yota junk?
June 6th is the wedding. Then off to Moab the 7th.
I always need more junk.
Looks like you'll be hanging out for a while then? 9 weeks in Colorado?
Hows the drive so far? Wish I was free, I'd head over to Topeka to hang out.
