Yeah it was not fun, the button to get weighed was really high up for truckers so i had to stand on my seat and jump attempting to hit the button, i got it after few tries but then they screwed up my info so i had to do it again. Pissed off a lot of truckers that day. If i have to do it again I'm bringing a golf club to reach the button

 

Yeah, same story for me unfortunately

 

I got my f350 down to 6880. 7k is a nice break point from light to heavy duty. Saved me $100-150 a year. Lol.

 

Any locals have an ARB compressor hooked up to a switchpro or Spod that I can look at or you can send pictures. Got the compressor mounted but need some help figuring out the wiring.

 

does anyone know if sandstone canyon is still blocked?

 

This is why good overlanders carry a shovel. Well that and poop

 

ALCON,

I was able to identify the location of the blockage based on my 02DEC2018 dash-cam by watching it and simultaneously tracing our path that day on Google Maps. In the images below, you can see the exact GPS coordinates of maker I placed along with identifiable landmarks from my dash-cam vid. So, it looks to be just about 3/4 of the way to the Gate Keeper. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to turn around in front of the blockage unless you backup, possibly a few hundred yards. And IF you were to accomplish that, you'd have two rock obstacles to reverse around. In the last photo, you can see the rock obstacles and this would be your last chance to reasonably turn around with a 250-point turn. So unfortunately, the really cool part of the canyon ( with the tight walls, boulder squeeze point, and rutted tight right-turn are just beyond the blockage.

I know some folks don't want it cleared for the Black Diamond challenge this is now, but I for one would like to see it at least broken down enough to be made passable by stock rigs with a good line and decent spotters ( in both directions ).

LAST CHANCE TO REASONABLY TURN AROUND

 

I wonder if some winches could move the rocks

 

With correct leverage, probably.

 

I attempted to pass through Sandstone, but failed. Breakover angle isn't enough to get by without full skids.

 

Looks like folks have been working on it though?

 

Yeah, clearly dirt has been filled in around the rocks and people have passed through. It's a tight squeeze, though. And that overhang got dangerously close to my bed rack.

I also saw the first herd of bighorn sheep I've seen after 15 years of going out there.

 

So yes.

 

Wow! That’s awesome!

Damn

 

I was literally just looking at that photo and thinking the same thing before I saw this post! Hahaha

 

I’m glad I made someone other than myself laugh at this.
