Earned my pin stripes this week!

[Xevo]

Climbed up to ~8,700 feet on Canoe Mountain (BC, Canada) on a super rocky trail. It's said to be the highest vehicle-accessible trail in Canada. It's not maintained anymore and this Ranger is probably the largest-sized truck that can make it through there. Some areas were barely wide enough for the side-by-side with us without hitting the bushes on either side.
My truck's paint did NOT like this... but it's meant to be used and not look pretty. Worth it! My friend also made it up in his 08 Ranger with KOs and stock ride height. Although one of his running boards got bent into his rocker panel pretty good.

Good for you!!! I love that attitude. I don't try to abuse it, but bought it to use it and if it gets damaged, that's part of the game. Great views, planning to reproduce your photos when I get there on my way to Tuktoyuktuk.

I got my first pinstripes out looking for this abandoned quartz mine. Didn't find it the first time but ended up on a trail going up a hill that guaranteed a few stripes. Found it the next time out and you could get there with a lowered Honda shitbox with no problems.

Those pinstripes are the exact reason I bought I white truck. My last truck was gray (magnetic) and it had a LOT of pinstripes on it. The white does a very good job of hiding them....

Congrats on getting up there - it would be cool to see more photos.

Im not typically one to take photos, so this is all I have until we all share what we took.

The guys chillin' next to the side-by-side

One of the boys exploring. There were two tiny lakes far below the ledge there.

A memorial for a poor fellow who fell off an ice ledge sometime in the 80's

My friend (with the 08 Ranger) celebrating... he did a wheelie moments before this and gave us all heart attacks.

That's awesome! So you're on your way to Canoe Mountain? Or just doing a similar climb?
