Yes... be ok with some frame scraping, and I have not done the left side of the lolipop at the top (its supposedly a little more difficult). (When going up, you'll stay right at the fork) You have a spotter, which I did not have when I did it alone.

Its a slow climb, but awesome at the top.

Worst case, you'll have to stack some rocks. Just make sure you dont squish your exhaust on any of the ledges, mine came close after I slid off the rock I was shooting for.

There was also an area where there are some decent ledges going straight, and a bypass to the left. The "bypass" is a steep climb up, but that has a good ledge at the top that was rutted out (and I was not feeling backing down). In the end, I remembered that I had a locker and got up it.

 

Anyone have a set of 86-95 Toyota IFS front snouts and hubs they want to sell or trade?

 

So I want to put a dog door in my back door which is metal,
Will a jig saw work well for this??
I suppose pulling the door off the hinges and putting it on some saw horses would be a better option??
Any pointers?

 

Yeah figure out where you want it, pull it off mark and measure a few times. Drill holes in the corners and use jigsaw/sawzall/grinder to open it up.

 

Thank you

Hahaha if I don't F--k it up!!

 

even still

 

Ok either way!!!

 

I haven't seen your truck, but I did most of this a few years ago. I took the left bypass that @aero3685 mentions, if it's the same one I'm thinking of, but it wasn't rutted at the time just a sharp turn to get back on main alignment with that ledge right there. I did it with a bit of skinny and no locker required, but it sounds like (and from my going over it I can see) it may have gotten worse since then being rutted out. At the bottom is where we left my parent's vehicle (an F150) .However when we got to the ledges about 0.75 mi from the end, it was right at the threshold I was comfortable with so we hiked the rest of the way. With some rock stacking or careful placement I probably could have made it, and under different circumstances I might have tried. But risk/time was too much that day. There was another definite spot after that and one maybe spot that would have given me pause as well.

 

Watch out curbs and parking stops of the world, @sean266 is armored up!

 

So now it's time to wheel that thing, right?

 

The final piece of the puzzle has arrived!

 

bet youre ecstatic

 

Mud keepers?

 

Datz purty!

 

Ditch the boots, they keep more shit in than they keep out.

 

So recently heard a different reasons as to why you should run the shafts covers. Pitting from rocks on the shock shafts from dirt roads. The pits in the shaft will rub on the seal when the shock cycles causing the seal to start leaking. I am not sold on that but watching mine now to see if they get pitted.

 

Before and after shaving ditch light bracket. Grinder got away from me a lil bit. Nothin a little paint can't hide.

 

They do help with that issue but pitted shafts aren't that big of an issue on CO trails. More of a go fast(er) desert type situation.
