Fear factor while wheeling.

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).

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.

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!

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?
