We can't wait to get back there this summer! I have 13 years worth of pictures from these trails some very fun and interesting times...the mud slide about 12 years ago that changed Box Canyon, have a pic of us stuck in that with the mud over wheels (not cool btw with a 7 month old and a 5 yr old) had to hitch a ride down from Angel creek and wait for dozer. Just one of our never ending crap-go-wrong are-you-kidding-me vacations. Life is an adventure! These pictures are from Poughkeepsie July 2010.

Well, I have most of the ingredients for that disaster recipe - 4" lift, Coast 1310 Front Driveshaft, Vibrations at 60 - 65mph... Guess we'll see how it goes.

I just finshed servicing My Rig grease, check and tightened all connections rotated & balanced tires, cleane and dusted the inside, stored extra fuses N parts, recovery bag packed and ready for use. spooled out the winch rope and strightened it out. Waiting for a few more repair parts from Northridge.
