Norcal.. Bobs Mixed Canyon

**UKMyers** · 06-28-2009, 07:11 PM

This place is Private Property and luckily the owner is a wheeling enthusiast. He opens it up every Sunday for people to come out and thrash their junk. With trails like Upper and Lower Hells revenge it's not hard to do. It's on a hillside and every trail is gnarly. I went with 89silverpu and that Elocker retrofit he did made his rig awesome. I was totally impressed with where he went today. Some good driving helped too but it's amazing what a locker will do for you. I had a serious issue with Hydro assist but that was the only carnage. My steering box is leaking like a siv where the top hydro fitting goes in. Gotta pull it out and investigate that tomorrow. Anyways here are the pics. This place is not for the faint of heart and pics do these hills NO justice!

Here is some more info with pics on this place if your interested.

Thanks for the pictures Joey! The e-locker made a huge difference! I woulda had no business doin what I was doing up there without it. The only "carnage" for me was a little dent/scrape on the drivers side from after my sliders pushed me out and around that rock on Lower Hell's but no biggie seing how my passenger side got raped by a tree up there a long time ago. This really is a great place to have some fun in a really well built rig or a semi built rig for a good challenge. There are some spots up there that have not been conquered and supposedly a guy with a 4runner with Rockwells and 54'' Michilens is gunna try it. These pictures really do no justice at all.

Oh and it's actually Mix Canyon, Joey, not that it matters or anything

Yeah it's a little hidden treasure and even if you don't have a really capable rig you can go up and hang out with everyone and watch the wheelin and it's a good time.....if you can get up the "driveway"

Took a trip up to Bob's today with Andrew (89silverpu). I snaped a few good shots of him tackling some trails.

This yota was sick. Well the only thing left toyota was the cab.

This is the outcome of me hitting the tree to the left in the above picture. I actually poped out the big dent through the little access hole from the inside.

Thanks Brandon! Sorry I forgot my camera!! I hope you had a fun time up there and aren't too upset about the carnage

Thanks for the good pictures! I'm gunna tackle Flat Fender Alley one of these times!!! haha

Oh, and that yota still had the toyota axles, transfer case, and 22re so it was still a yota at heart, just had a skin change kinda like Michael Jackson......

ok maybe not
