the crux step. no problem, right? toss a few rocks down for the passenger rear wheel and we will drive right over. (such optimism)

post crux step;)
my crappy trailbuilding meant that when we were climbing the step, the rear wheel kicked my rocks out and suddenly i was high centered on the frame right next to the wheel. ended up just winching the car forward with our fancy new come-along. my wife absolutely loved finishing the second half of this trail in the dark.

stock ranger, two naive offroaders, and a comealong. no problem!

jealous of your adventure ! nice to see a stock ranger could make it. im sure the pictures are deceptive in that the steps do not look so bad. i bet in person they look much meaner!

yeah. but i woudlnt say a stock ranger made it if i had to winch..
we are so used to just driving over anything that i have become somewhat complacent. i should be spending more time choosing lines or making rock piles since i refuse to get a lift and big tires;)

the waterfall is about 5 feet tall or something with an impressive step. you can see all the trailbuilding everyone has been doing to get up it. its always annoying to look at these photos and think "well that looks basically flat"..
