It must have been cold up there today. Any snow on the trail?

 

There was snow on Alamo mountain but none on the trail. Ima post a couple pics. Was pretty rough in a couple spots. Not for me of course. But for the guys i went with . the rain and wind exposed some new obstacles for sure. Only a couple dirt bikes on the trail. And a suv that was stuck at the entrance of lockwood creek. Luckily he was able to back out. We were ready for a full rollover recovery.

 

I did Quatail, Quatall whatever the hell the canyon is called from 33 to mil portereo. I wanted to run Miller but not sure if my truck is ready. Can you take a look at my build and give me your opinion?

 

I second that. I had to winch up a section as I'm open/open. It's pretty remote, and pretty long.

 

So I'm pretty sure my predator steps would not make it

 

I ended up getting stuck on that last obstacle when I went. Gas tank, t case, driveshaft all took a hard hit

 

Ouch!

 

Yup, and I actually made some good use (first time using it) of the atrac. haha!





Here is a clip of the hardest part of the trail (at the time)

Yeah the line you choose is everything. I bang up my sliders every time. But the pickup behind mine on 33s no sliders didn't get a scratch. Only really carnage was my driver front blinker. Smacked a rock.

 

I would also worry about my 285/70R17 spare I have mounted underneath lol

 

I am looking to do the same with my spare! What all did you have to modify to fit it in the stock location?

 

Bang the supports with a big hammer, and it will fit a 33" tire

 

What he said lol. It is snug.

 

Its tight but it fits!

 

WOW!
Guess it’s called the miller “Jeep” trail for good reason...

 

Yikes, be safe out there SB/Cito/S-LAnd/Carp folks.
