    Heck ya the more the merrier. :D

    Extra turns are a necessity. The last time that I did it I still had the stock rear bumper and hit on that. It pushed it up and tweaked it a bit but it was good other than that.

    So in Ben's video it was the turn at 2:43 that got my rear bumper. But that is also the tightest section of the trail.

    definitely not a trail you want to take with snow....up to the summit is not bad really...but descending on the shelf road would be a death wish...people slide off and die when it's rain slick...don't want to imagine it with ice and snow :eek:


    Jace and i went a couple years back and had to turn around because the snow was piling up back there in september...snow bashed our way up a bit but i called it after a bit because i knew what was ahead and didn't want to risk any lives attempting a snowy descent down that section


    i.e.

    this \/ and ice...no thank you :D

    Dude, I am getting goosebumps just looking at that pic! I HAVE to do that trail! But I agree with Bob, it had better be dry when I do. Either that or I will be wearing a parachute in the driver's seat in case I need to bail.

    Why would you want to take a heep up there when you have a perfectly good truck? :D

    Oh and why are you not able to take rental jeeps up there? Just because you may slide off and die?

    Blackbear Pass is definitely an awesome trail. I'm trying to work it out so I can spend a week in the area this summer and hit a bunch of the passes again since it's been a few years. good times.

    How do you use that? There is really no one that I want to ignore but it would be good to know.

    Click on the person's username and go to their public profile. Right under their profile pic it says "user lists". click that and a drop down will let you add them to your ignore list.

    hmmm, interesting. Hopefully I'm not the one being ignored. I don't think I'm that annoying, but then again I doubt that annoying people ever really think they are annoying.

    That is funny! Come to think of it, I don't think BoxRocket has ever responded to any of my posts! He isn't even seeing them! I'VE BEEN IGNORED!!!!:eek:
    I kid. I do post on here a lot, so maybe he did ignore me. If so, I can't blame him, but damn I say some funny shit sometimes and he will be missing out when I drop my next knee-slapper!
