Las Vegas snow wheelin!! - Wheeler Pass
 
I'm down in Vegas right now for school and don't know where any of the wheeling is down here, so I met up with the Vegas Valley 4WD club (vv4w.org) and went on a trail run to Wheeler Pass. The trail is rated 2+ out of 5, but it was covered in snow so it made it pretty tough in some spots. Overall a good day besides a YJ breakin his rear axle twice and the people without lockers needed to be dragged up the top part of the pass.

Hey Brian, how've ya been? they're workin good! This is my first time really wheelin hard with them and they are awesome, it's night and day with these compared to stock, and I'm glad I went with the duals as opposed to a single 4.7 the options I had yesterday were great. Here are a coupl more pics:

Thanks! It was a different kind of wheeling from what I'm accustomed to in Norcal, but it was a lot of fun, I didn't realize how much wheeling there actually is around vegas.
