Fear factor while wheeling.

Junkers88 · 10-21-2009, 11:09 PM

So I went out a few days ago in my little first gen runner to do some wheeling with the puppy and I found this.

Doesn't look like much from here.

Bottom end and I can tell you that those rocks up on top are 34" tall (I measured)

Back view. I think if I would have had someone else there I still wouldn't have tried it. That is one steep climb.

Some day I will.

Ditto! I've got an 84 Runner and your lights and roof rack have been in my day dreaming routine since I stuck the top back on! (My only change would be a row of 4 lights... for compensation purposes).

c'mon just try it, we all wanna see the pics!

Thanks!!

I did a write up about the light bar a long time ago. Plans now are to remove the bar and put the lights on the basket.

I bet you would have made it up without a hiccup. With a rear locker and good tires you can go pretty steep.

Dibs on the light bar when you're done with it

I think I would have passed it up as well...at least for now. Wait till you got someone to give an extra eye on the situation.

Nice pic's man!

BigBluePile · 10-22-2009, 10:35 AM

I'd have done it.

Hey man,

Where exactly is this place? Is it off 40 East of the city? I used to work a lot in Albq and Reserve. Ever gone wheeling in the Gila?
