Saturday, May 12th on 21 Road

[Greg]

Well... I thought I quick trip up 21 Road would be an ideal place to try out the 38's I just mounted on the 4Runner. I bypassed most of the lower trail, wanting to get up by the Overhang and into the big rocks.

I ran into a small group with 2 vehicles, right where the canyon gets tight & the rocks get big. There was a Toyota Truggy, (used to be an Ext Cab pickup) on 37" MTR's and a rear locker. There was also a Toyota Landcruiser that was close to stock! A few inches of lift, 32" BFG Muds and opened diffs. I was amazed that they were that far up the trail!

They were taking lunch... after a few minutes of chatting, they let me pass them, then I pulled 'em over the difficult spot.

Here's some poser pics... I was doing some more tire-fit testing. Note the Dana 30 stub shaft laying on the ground.

Here's where I meet up with the other guys and the following obstacles-

More as we finished the trail. At the end there's a very optional wash with some really huge rocks, it was too tempting to pass up. -

In the end, I've decided that I should have gone with 38" SX's long ago... they work very well & the size increase of a few inches made a world of difference. I hit my diff so much less & hardly ever hit my rocksliders. I did get the 4Runner hopping a few times & got a little bound up. With some cautious driving, I made it thru without any problems. I do need to lower the air pressure from 12 Front/10 Rear, but the tires spun easier & prevented breakage. I'm very happy with the way it's working now.

Yeah you do! It's a great trail, something totally different than what you're used to. I love having this trail less than 10 minutes from my house. I left home just before noon and got back by 4pm. Not bad considering how long it is if you drive out the top, which I did.

 

[RockMonkey]

Cool. Can't wait to get back down there.

You'll like it... it's one of those trails that gets better the deeper into the trail you get.

Good to meet you! I'm Greg.

21 Road is calling your name... it's saying you have unfinished business.

So what are you doing tomorrow?



Seriously though, don't tempt him! The bane of that boy's exsistence is unfinished trails.
