Summit Machine, Inc. | January '09 Trail Run | Rattlesnake Trail

[Revenant]

This a couple weeks old, but we made a snow run recently. Brian blazed the deeper snow with his 37s to make it more passable for the 4Runner with just under 32" tires.

We kept going until we reached a peak with views that made me feel like we were on top of the world. I have to say, it's beautiful country.

On the way back down, we ran into Meat and others. Meat showed us to the mine with a Jeep wedged in it. Thanks!

Rigs and drivers:
1990 Bronco, Brian (UTIBronco)
4Runner, Mel
Summit Machine JK, Jim

Snow runs are always a blast, it looks like y'all had fun. The pictures are great and I like the angles that you took them from.

I, even though my truck wasn't there, loved getting out and seeing rare sights. Thanks for the compliment, I try to get the best photos I can.

Nice trip report! Who's 4Runner is that, any more info concerning mods?

The 4Runner guy is my neighbor. Very cool guy. His username on her is 4crawling. The runner is mostly stock. It has a bumper, some rock sliders, lift, etc. Up until recently it was his daily driver / work vehicle.

I'm curious about what lift & how much he's running... also tire size.

I know the 4Runner uses 33s for street and just under 32s when he knows he'll be flexing. He currently has 4.88:1 gears I believe. There is a seriously powerful inverter you could run a house off of in the cargo area's side wall. I saw an air compressor and HID lighting kit under the hood. I think he's got lockers, not sure.

You did a great job!! I have decided that everybody that has posted up photos has a fantastic eye. Not just on the rigs but also on the scenery. Amazing!! Thanks for the photos.
