Default Wheeling pics

Went up to glacier and red meadow the other day. Yesterday went up and ran the blacktail trail...The hill you see pictures of had a sign(i will take a pic of that this week) that said, black diamond(hardest) tire size req-37in+, Lockers req, full roll cage req. Was a pretty nasty hill(i was half way up the hill when i got the pic.. there was more of the same behind me i was just in a safe stopping point). tuck it nice and slow in low range and only had to take two runs at the top portion. Minor body damage to truck(tree branch scratched paint but whatever no biggy).

Half way point on hill, don't know if you can make out the truck at the bottom of the hill.. Hill was steep enough on the rock portion's that my front end was bouncing off the ground...

Nice pics and gnarly trail man! Does your truck have any of the items listed on the sign? I might be too much of a puss for that trail since I think I'd start worrying about breaking stuff.

Lol, thanks! Nope... nothing on the list lol. You just have to know how to drive... Its all about tire placement and momentum(not speed/power tire spinning). I was in 1st gear 4low the entire hill and hardly broke 1200rpm.. only time i did was when i BLIPED the throttle to bump over a ledge, rather than hammer on it and break things. If you know how to drive properly off-road you can do some amazing things. I do like trails where i do have to have some right foot though
